Adult Residential Crisis Stabilization Services (RCS)
In 1993, we opened the first mental health crisis residence in Minnesota. Our Adult Residential Crisis Stabilization Services (RCS) integrate mental health, medical, and substance use care in an inpatient, 24-hour, supervised setting. These services help individuals who are experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency. Our crisis team includes, clinical social workers, mental health practitioners, nurses, certified peer specialists, therapists, and psychiatrists.
We help individuals manage their immediate mental health needs, develop a crisis prevention plan, learn new coping skills, and recognize symptoms earlier. An important goal of crisis stabilization services is the development of a discharge plan, including referrals to other People Incorporated services to meet individuals where they are at in their recovery journey.
- 24-hour on-site staff and assistance in a residential setting
- Assessment of immediate needs and factors that lead to the crisis
- Individualized treatment to address immediate needs and restore individual to pre-crisis level of functioning
- Individual and group therapy
- Living skills/foundational wellness development including: exercise (yoga, meditation, mindfulness) and nutrition
- Medication management
Three locations, Diane Ahrens Residence in St. Paul, Nancy Page Residence in Minneapolis, and Steiner Kelting Mental Wellness in Chaska, offer a hybrid model of crisis and Intensive Residential Treatment Services (IRTS) treatment that meets the community’s needs by offering short-term crisis stabilization services in the same setting. When appropriate, the individual will be able to move directly into IRTS, removing barriers and waiting for the next steps to be taken on a path toward recovery. Our treatment philosophy is to meet clients with the appropriate level of care in the least disruptive and restrictive way, reducing the trauma associated with recidivism.
