Description
Unity Center for Behavioral Health’s 24-hour behavioral and mental health services center provides immediate psychiatric care and treatment for people experiencing a mental health crisis. Emergency treatment is available at Unity’s Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) for adults 18 and older having a mental health crisis. Patients are first seen by a triage nurse, then participate in a psychiatric evaluation. After the evaluation is done, a treatment team prepares a stabilization plan. Once a patient enters the PES triage area, they are not able to leave until a provider has had a chance to evaluate them. The PES is a locked setting for voluntary and involuntary patients. Unity’s PES provides primary emergency hospital care for the greater Portland area. OHSU, Adventist, and Providence no longer have secure emergency mental health treatment facilities and these patients are now referred to Unity Center for Behavioral Health.
Unity’s mental and behavioral health services include Crisis stabilization, Crisis intervention, Medication management, Crisis counseling, Inpatient care, Social work, Family support, Peer support, Care navigation, Case management.
