Emergency Services are unscheduled and sometimes scheduled crisis intervention, stabilization, and referral assistance provided over the telephone or face-to-face, if indicated, 24 hours per day and seven days per week, to people seeking such services for themselves or others. Services also may include walk-ins, home visits, and jail interventions. Emergency Services include preadmission screening or other activities that prevent admission to a mental health hospital or mental retardation training center or are associated with the judicial admission process.
