DETROIT – The Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWIHN) opened the 707 Crisis Care Center this morning.
The center will provide specialized care for individuals in crisis. The center offers crisis walk-ins, crisis stabilization, and a peer-led program called BEST (Building Empowered Supportive Transition).
The facility is open to crisis calls and walk-ins 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“This is an incredibly exciting day for DWIHN and the community as we continue leading the way in crisis care for the region,” said Eric Doeh, DWIHN President and CEO.
This is DWIHN’s first of many Crisis Care Centers. The center is located in Detroit at 707 W. Milwaukee Street.
Adults and children experiencing a mental health crisis can be evaluated at the center to determine the best ways for them to receive help.
Anyone needing services or a referral can call 313-989-9444 or people can walk into the center and be helped by staff. Staff at the center are trained to help those experiencing a crisis.
“With a population of approximately 1.6 million people, Wayne County should have at least three crisis centers to serve individuals in need, from Western Wayne to Downriver,” said Doeh. “The 707 Crisis Care Center is the start of that outreach, providing access to quality behavioral healthcare services, no matter zip code, age or race.”
