About People Incorporated Diane Ahrens Residence – Saint Paul
The Diane Ahrens Crisis Residence is a short term crisis stabilization center for adults in Saint Paul, Minnesota. They operate under People, Inc. which provides mental health services across the state. This is a residential unit that integrates medical and mental health care in a highly supervised setting. If clients would benefit from a referral to addiction treatment, the staff can provide that. They accept self payment and private insurance and offer a sliding fee scale if you qualify for a discounted rate.
Here, you’ll receive round the clock care to stabilize your condition. There are 16 beds available and both men and women are welcome to attend. The providers here are trained to help people who are experiencing an acute mental health crisis or emergency. Their care is based on a hybrid model, which means they’ll not only stabilize you but also help you start intensive residential treatment services.
The goal is to support you until you’re ready to move directly into one of their residential programs. Your team will help you manage your immediate needs, create a customized crisis prevention plan, and learn healthy coping skills. They’ll also teach you how to recognize the early signs of a crisis so you can get help for your symptoms before they escalate again.
The residence is located in a quiet neighborhood, away from the loud distractions of the city. Your furnishings will be comfortable, warm and well decorated to help you feel at home. There are on site workout facilities, social gathering spots, and outdoor recreation areas. You can stay here for up to 10 days as you recover.
