RBHA's Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) is a 16-bed, residential treatment program for adults experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. CSU is staffed by an interdisciplinary team that includes psychiatric providers, nurses, medical doctors, behavioral health clinicians, peer specialists, and mental health technicians.
CSU serves the region by providing a safe environment and evidence-based treatment modalities for adults experiencing a mental health crisis. Referrals come from community service boards of Richmond, Henrico, Hanover, Goochland/Powhatan, Chesterfield, Crossroads, and D19.
These referrals allow the CSU to benefit the community by:
- helping individuals to avoid inpatient hospitalizations;
- increasing access to recovery services;
- coordinating mental heath, substance use, and medical services; and,
- assisting individuals with integration back into the community.
Pictured above is a recently created Sensory Room within the CSU. Sensory Rooms offer a safe, calming, and interactive space to decrease stress, anger, or anxiety. It is a therapeutic environment that allows individuals to develop and enhance skills in self-regulating and emotional self-care.
