4C Health is announcing the launch this week of a new High-Acuity Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Unit (CRSS), opening on October 1.
This innovative service will provide immediate, around-the-clock support for individuals experiencing behavioral health crises, ensuring that people
across North Central Indiana have expanded access to the right level of care when they need it most.
4C Health will be transitioning its current inpatient psychiatric facility space to High-Acuity-Crisis Receiving & Stabilization Services, bringing enhanced resources and a modern model of care designed to meet today’s behavioral health challenges. By establishing this unit, 4C Health is strengthening its role as the region’s leading crisis behavioral health safety net and creating:
• A “Behavioral Health ER” for the community — welcoming individuals in crisis, whether they come voluntarily or involuntarily, are referred by hospitals, or arrive with law enforcement.
• Expanded access for high-acuity patients, ensuring all individuals can receive immediate stabilization services.
• Sustainable, future-focused care, aligned with the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model, which emphasizes accessibility, financial stability, and integration with other community services.
• A stronger partnership with first responders and healthcare providers, creating a true “no wrong door” approach for individuals in need.
Dr Carrie Cadwell, CEO of 4C Health states, “If you have 10 individuals experiencing high intensity behavioral health crisis, only a few of those will ever qualify for inpatient psychiatric unit admission. High intensity crisis requires something more than what our current moderate intensity 24/7/365 Psychiatric Urgent Care can provide. For those with a primary substance use crisis, that entry to care becomes even more difficult.
Our mission as an Indiana CCBHC is to make crisis care more accessible, enhance capacity to serve more individuals, to do that in a way that produces better outcomes for patients, and achieves solid controls over healthcare expenditures for patients. This step in bringing High-Acuity Crisis Receiving & Stabilization does just that. It is a top tier addition to our existing continuum of 24/7/365 crisis call line, Walk-In Emergency Assessments at all locations, 24/7/365 Mobile Crisis Teams across 7 counties, and 24/7/365 Psychiatric Urgent Care.”
