About Community Outreach for Psychiatric Emergencies – Livonia
Hegira Health Community Outreach for Psychiatric Emergencies is a mental and behavioral health center in Livonia, Michigan. The organization specializes in helping people in their darkest hours, including those experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors or psychiatric breaks. The center, which has served the community for over 40 years, is Joint Commission accredited which indicates a sterling standard of care.
Community Outreach for Psychiatric Emergencies has a brick and mortar location on Schoolcraft Road where patients can walk in any time, 24 hours a day, for same day evaluations. They also have a mobile crisis team available around the clock to meet patients where they are, whether that’s a hospital emergency room, drug rehab center, group home or health clinic.
This facility provides a broad array of support services for patients to ensure they have all the tools necessary to recover and move forward. Upon the first meeting, patients meet with a master’s level clinician and a peer support specialist who see to their immediate needs. Then, based on a patient’s goals, staff create personalized care plans which may include addiction treatment and other forms of mental and physical health care.
Besides crisis stabilization and evaluations, the center offers patients necessities such as food, showers, emergency clothing, transportation, and help refilling prescriptions. They also help connect patients with other providers in the community to attend to additional needs. For instance, if a patient needs alcohol or drug rehab, the team can help them get established at a local clinic.
