Crisis Centers

Part of the Alabama Crisis System of Care, the Crisis Centers are individualized to the unique needs of the communities they serve.  Currently, there are five centers operating across the state, with an additional center on the way.

Crisis centers are designated places for individuals to walk in, and/or for law enforcement, first responders, and EMS personnel to take an individual who is in mental health or substance use crisis – 24/7/365 days a year. At each center, the individual may receive stabilization, evaluation, psychiatric services, and referral to community resources.

As part of the first major investment in state mental health services since Governor Lurleen Wallace’s administration, Governor Ivey prioritized establishing a mental health crisis continuum of care, with efforts in the Alabama Legislature led by House Majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter. This continuum of care, called the Alabama Crisis System of Care includes Crisis Centers.
