Bowen Center announces the opening of an expanded Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Services unit open to anyone experiencing a mental health crisis. Located alongside Bowen Center’s Psychiatric Hospital in Pierceton, IN, the facility offers a safe place for people to calm down, receive brief mental health therapy and/or medication management, and be connected to community resources such as housing, transportation, and more. Services are available 24/7/365, and no one is turned away regardless of their ability to pay. The goal of Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Services is to de-escalate a mental health crisis by providing less restrictive care in a comfortable environment. Studies have shown that this approach can be more effective than hospitalization, can prevent future crises, and can save lives. Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Services are funded by a $4.4 million grant from the Indiana Department of Mental Health and Addiction and were made available through funding during the 2023 Indiana Legislative session under SB1. Individuals in crisis can also come to any Bowen Center location during regular office hours, and they will be assessed and provided care.
