A safe and healing place for adults experiencing a mental health crisis

The Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) at Productive Alternatives provides a safe, supportive environment for adults experiencing a mental health crisis. Our compassionate team works alongside each individual to create a circle of support that helps them regain stability, build resilience, and take steps toward recovery.

We understand that a crisis is defined by the person experiencing it—there’s no one-size-fits-all definition. That’s why we approach every situation with care, respect, and a personalized plan tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals.

The CSU is a 24/7 residential program dedicated entirely to mental health support. We offer short-term stays (typically 10 days or fewer), with flexibility for extensions when needed. During their stay, individuals receive help developing coping strategies and life skills that empower them to move forward with confidence and hope.

Thanks to insurance billing and grant funding, CSU services are provided at no cost to the individual.

At Productive Alternatives, we believe in helping people heal, grow, and find hope—one step at a time.
