Adult Crisis Alternative Program (ACAP)

counseling-701x467

The ACAP program, located at our Knight Boxx Road campus, serves adults who are in crisis in a cost-effective and treatment-efficient manner. By avoiding hospitalization and providing a safe, therapeutic environment for recovery, our clients are able to return to the community and resume their daily activities. ACAP is available to adults age 18 and over, who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Priority clients include those individuals diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness. Participation is voluntary, and residents are expected to be actively involved in the daily routine. Average length of stay is three (3) to five (5) days. Individuals with any recent substance abuse, or behaviors which present an immediate danger to self or others, are best served in other settings, and may not be considered for admission to ACAP.

ACAP provides a short-term alternative to inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Support and care is provided to those experiencing a mental and/or emotional crisis. The comfortable, non-institutional setting of ACAP provides a temporary respite while preparing individuals for a return to their community. We believe each individual has an important role to play in their own recovery process, and each member of the team must be actively involved in the process.
