What is replacing Hope House for crisis receiving and stabilization services?

Bozeman Health opened psychiatric emergency services (PES) in December 2022 to provide a therapeutic environment for individuals experiencing acute behavioral health needs. The PES area is located adjacent to the emergency department. Patients in behavioral health crisis complete a medical check at the emergency department before moving to PES for therapeutic support from a multi-disciplinary team. 

The Gallatin region does not have community-based crisis receiving and stabilization services. This gap means we do not have a place to divert or step down from higher levels of care. GBHC is applying for funds to conduct a regional feasibility study to determine how we can fill this gap sustainably.
