Crisis & Emergency

Someone to call, someone to respond, somewhere to go.

Alabama's Crisis System of Care — available 24/7. SCAMHC provides a 24/7 helpline, mobile crisis teams who come to you, a Psychiatric Urgent Care clinic, emergency evaluations at secure locations, and coordinated inpatient services across four counties.

Crisis care built around you.

A crisis is an acute response to an event or situation — real or perceived — where regular functioning is disrupted, usual coping mechanisms have failed, and there is evidence of significant distress or functional impairment. SCAMHC's crisis continuum is designed to meet you wherever you are: at home, at work, or anywhere in the community — and connect you to the right level of care without unnecessary hospitalization or arrest.

Available 24/7

If you're in crisis,we're here.

You don't have to be a current SCAMHC client to reach us. Anyone in Butler, Coffee, Covington, or Crenshaw County can call our helpline, visit our Psychiatric Urgent Care, or request a Mobile Crisis Team — regardless of age, ability to pay, or diagnosis.
