About Jackson Community Mental Health – Crisis Unit – Opa-locka, Florida
Jackson Community Mental Health Center is an integrated behavioral health clinic serving adults, adolescents and children across north and northwestern Miami-Dade County. They’re located just north of Miami, Florida. The clinic also serves patients from Miami Gardens, Hialeah and other surrounding areas. They help individuals and families navigate substance use disorders, mental health issues and co-occurring conditions. Their continuum of care ranges from crisis care and detox to case management.
Jackson Community Mental Health provides 24/7 crisis care for individuals experiencing acute psychiatric and substance use disorder crises at their Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU). The CSU is a licensed 20-bed Baker Act receiving facility offering psychiatric inpatient care for individuals over 18. Crisis support aims to provide immediate relief, restore normal functioning and stabilize symptoms. Services may cut across psychiatric evaluation, medication management and monitoring and supportive counseling to regain stability. They also offer mental health and substance use emergency screening & assessments.
Clients with primary substance use issues like acute withdrawal symptoms may undergo medically supervised withdrawal at the inpatient detoxification unit. This procedure involves 24/7 monitored care by skilled clinicians to ensure comfort and safety while the body weans itself off addiction-related toxins.
The clinicians may administer meds to reduce painful withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings. Counseling and other supportive interventions may be provided as well to make the process as painless as possible. Once stabilized, clients are connected to ongoing care or resources for continued support and recovery.
Most clients transition to the adult outpatient treatment provided by Jackson Community Mental Health Center. This program supports patients diagnosed with common psychiatric issues like PTSD and anxiety as well as substance use disorder.
They even support HIV-positive clients and affected family members. Clients attend individual and group therapy to develop coping skills, address underlying issues and work on lasting recovery goals. The program also involves psychiatric care like psychiatric assessment & diagnosis as well as medication evaluation & management. This may form part of integrated care for those struggling with dual diagnosis.
The wraparound services encompass targeted case management and access to the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program. Case managers advocate for quality care on behalf of clients and provide linkage to community services to address needs like housing, employment and education. TANF offers screening and assessments and treatment support to individuals facing employment and family challenges. It particularly serves families living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.
