Available on-site at Crozer-Chester Medical Center or through a 24-hour crisis hotline (610-447-7600), professional clinicians at the Crisis Center provide round-the-clock, confidential support and treatment to children, adolescents and adults.

    Who We Serve

    What to Expect

    When a patient comes to Crozer-Chester Medical Center’s Crisis Center, there are a few standard procedures that will occur:

    • For the safety of patients and those accompanying them to the Crisis Center, everyone needs to be cleared by security upon arrival
    • A nurse will take the patient’s vital signs and determine if the patient is in need of treatment for a medical issue, or if they are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. If so, the patient will need to be cleared by the Emergency Department before they can continue treatment at the Crisis Center
    • After it is determined the patient is appropriate to move forward and/or has been medically cleared by the Emergency Department, the patient will receive their rights (which are different if a patient comes in voluntarily or as been involuntarily committed)
    • A Bio-psychosocial Assessment will then be performed by the Crisis Nurse/Counselor and a Psychiatric Evaluation by the Psychiatrist

    What to Bring with You

    If at all possible when coming to Crozer-Chester Medical Center’s Crisis Center, please have the following items:

    • The patient’s health insurance information
    • All current medical problems/diagnoses of the patient
    • A list of current medications the patient takes
    • Any information about mental health services the patient is already receiving and phone numbers of professional contacts
    • Psychiatric Advance Directive (If applicable)

    When suitable the Crisis Staff will provide counseling to the patient and family. Also, if medication is needed for psychiatric conditions, or for drug and/or alcohol withdrawal symptoms, that will be given to the patient during their stay.
