Crisis Stabilization Units
Crisis Stabilization Units (CSU) provide immediate mental health support and treatment services in a calming setting to individuals with serious behavioral health needs. Available for short-term stays, generally up to 24 hours, CSUs can help prevent or treat a behavioral health crisis and can assist clients in getting connected to ongoing care. There are currently five CSUs for adults and one for children and adolescents. Visit the County of San Diego CSU webpage for more information.  

Mobile Crisis Response Teams

Mobile Crisis Response Teams (MCRT) provide in-person support to people of all ages who are experiencing a mental health, drug, or alcohol-related crisis. MCRT is comprised of licensed mental health clinicians, case managers, and peer support specialists. They respond to behavioral health crisis calls instead of law enforcement when the call does not involve known threats of violence or medical emergencies.

For more information on the MCRT program and how to access services, visit the MCRT web page.

Call 1-800-273-8255 or contact their live online chat.
