Crisis Stabilization. Crisis Stabilization is an emergency behavioral healthcare alternative to higher cost emergency room services and inpatient hospitalizations. This service provides children and TAY with emerging or acute behavioral health problems prompt response and effective support in a confidential environment. It is intended for youth who do not meet the 5585 (minor)/5150 (adult) criteria and who need up to 23 hours of direct supervision and intervention in a therapeutic environment. 5585 and 5150 are a section of the California Welfare and Institution Code (specifically, the Xxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx- Short Act or “LPS”) which allows a qualified officer or clinician to involuntary confine a person deemed to have a mental disorder that makes them a danger to him or herself, and/or others and/or gravely disabled. When used as a term, 5150 can informally refer to the person being confined or the declaration itself or as in “someone was 5150’d”. Youth have prompt access to mental health/medical clinicians to deal with emergent acute problems, and referral assistance for a broad range of other community services as needed. CONTRACTOR’s team members will provide a safe environment and therapeutic support for stabilization of the crisis. A range of interventions will be available and will include medications, information and referral/linkage, crisis counseling, a short “respite” from situational stressors or focus on basic needs for food, a shower and sleep.
