Crisis Stabilization Unit
Coleman Residential Services operates an 11-bed crisis stabilization unit. The crisis stabilization unit provides a 24-hour environment with crisis support, supervision and clinical treatment for persons experiencing an emotional crisis, and who could benefit from an alternative setting rather than hospitalization. The crisis unit will serve to strengthen a person's individual ability to function at the highest level of independence achievable in the community upon discharge.
