The Crisis Residential Services (CRS) program provides highly structured, voluntary services in a residential setting for individuals who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis and meet eligibility requirements. Individuals ages 12 and older can be referred if they have been evaluated for psychiatric hospitalization, can be safely referred to a less restrictive, lower level of care and they and/or their family are experiencing considerable distress. Individuals must be referred by hospitals (for the Children's and TAY sites), County CAT/PERTs or County or County-contracted Specialty Mental Health Plan programs (i.e., the program does not accept walk-ins, self-referrals). The Adult CRS program currently has 42 beds available at 4 sites located throughout Orange County. (Source = MHSA...p.114)
