Recognized as the industry leader in immediate-access behavioral health crisis care, Connections Health Solutions partners with local governments, managed care organizations, health systems, and other local providers to help architect and operate a behavioral health crisis system that meets the needs of the community.
The Connections model combines both medical and recovery-oriented treatment designed to get people connected to resources and back to their lives faster.

Connections’ walk-in behavioral health clinics do not require an appointment, eliminating access issues for those in need. Individuals simply walk in and get the care and help they need. On average, individuals are seen by a trained crisis worker in 23 to 90 minutes.
Connections is credited with pioneering the 23-hour emergency psychiatric observation and stabilization unit. As an alternative to jails or emergency rooms, individuals receive more focused treatment and care in a therapeutic and safe environment. All discharges to the appropriate level of care occur within 23 hours and 59 minutes.
Our subacute crisis stabilization units provide high-quality care and treatment for individuals who require additional time to safely stabilize, in lieu of having to endure the lengthy wait for placement in an inpatient unit. Under the Connections model, stays for both voluntary and involuntary individuals average three to four days.
Connections’ Transitions Outpatient Treatment Program partners with local resources and providers to help individuals overcome any social or clinical barriers as they embark on their recovery journey. The program is designed to reduce readmissions and reentry back into the crisis system. Individuals who enroll in the program typically graduate within 45 days.
Connections operates two of the largest and most studied behavioral health crisis centers in
the nation and is extending our impact and reach to multiple communities this year.
