Access to Care

Outreach serves as a central point of access for Center services, including responding to initial contacts for services, and complaints or grievances about Center services from consumers, family members, or other persons in the community, and information and referral for services not directly provided by the Center.

Outreach Services

Outreach Services provides an array of services that are crisis-oriented, intensive, brief, and focused. The primary goal of Outreach is to coordinate emergency and intake services in the most efficient and timely way possible. Outreach staff focus their efforts on removing barriers to treatment.

Emergency Services

The Center's centralized Emergency Services program provides consistent and timely delivery of crisis intervention and resolution, and other emergency services, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The primary goals of Emergency Services are to 1) promptly resolve consumer emergencies that would otherwise result in more restrictive treatment and/or intervention; and 2) address urgent facility and vehicular maintenance needs which may present a health or safety risk to consumers, staff, or visitors. Both telephone and face-to-face services are available to address emergencies.

Greil Project

The Center's Greil Project provides intensive nursing and case management services to consumers discharged to the Center's catchment area from Greil Memorial Psychiatric Hospital in an effort to facilitate a smooth transition back to the community from an inpatient setting.

East Alabama Medical Center Inpatient Psychiatric Services

The Center contracts with East Alabama Medical Center for the use of beds on the adult, adolescent, and children's psychiatric units. Inpatient services are designed to provide for psychiatric stabilization in a community setting. Consumers are transitioned to the crisis stabilization unit (BIT) as soon as possible.
