Crisis Stabilization is a facility used to divert psychiatric hospitalization. Clients can stay there up to 23 hours and cannot meet criteria for 5150/5585 involuntary hospitalization. The crisis stabilization facilities we have in LA County that I know of are the MH Urgent Care Center in Long Beach, Augustus Hawkins Urgent Care, and Olive View and Westside Urgent Care Center. I am not sure if any of these facilities currently serve children or TAY.
