Located in Portland, Multnomah Crisis and Treatment Center (CATC) is a subacute 16- bed, 24/7 program that serves as a secure short-term crisis program for individuals living in Multnomah County. CATC offers a clinical approach that differs from traditional non-acute secure facilities. Rather than focusing primarily on symptom control and behavior management, they use Telecare's Recovery Centered Clinical System (RCCS), which is based on the premise that every person can recover from mental illness, and that recovery is woven into all processes and resident interactions.
Stays at CATC are from four to 14 days as the patient’s mental health symptoms stabilize. Upon discharge, each person has a plan for follow up treatment in the community. Staff also helps find other resources necessary for each person to remain stable, such as housing, basic needs assistance, and care for physical health needs. CATC is designed as an inviting, safe and supportive environment for recovery from crises. The staff includes peers who provide support, advocacy and mentoring.
