Murfreesboro, TN - Volunteer Behavioral Health (VBH) is pleased to announce the grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony of its Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) Walk-in Center (WIC), and Detox Services. The event will take place on April 11, 2024, from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, at 1504 Williams Drive, Murfreesboro, TN 37129. Opening comments will begin at 3:30 followed by the Ribbon Cutting at 4:00.
VBH was awarded funding from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (TDMHSAS) to open a new CSU in Rutherford County. Located in Murfreesboro, the facility will serve multiple counties in the region, most of which have few options other than emergency departments, incarceration, and inpatient hospitalization for persons experiencing a mental health crisis.
Through the CSU, VBH will offer 24-hour, medically monitored, short-term intensive treatment for adults experiencing a serious psychiatric or behavioral health crisis. Services will include psychiatric assessments, general medical screenings, medication management, counseling and peer support services, and mental health and co-occurring disorder education. Individualized treatment and discharge plans will provide referrals to a multitude of behavioral health, medical and social services to prepare individuals for successful re-entry into the community. By providing the most clinically appropriate, least restrictive care, the CSU will also serve as a valuable alternative to inpatient hospitalizations at regional mental health institutes.
The WIC will offer 24/7/365 non-hospital services for persons experiencing a behavioral health emergency. The WIC will ensure that individuals receive same day access to crisis services in a therapeutic environment without requiring a visit to an emergency department. After an individual is assessed, WIC services may include a referral to the CSU or other stabilization service, psychiatric medication and medical management assistance, therapy, care management, peer support, and direct linkage to follow-up services.
The grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony are open to the public, and all community members are encouraged to attend.
