Collaborative Crisis Services

Mobile Crisis Team

The mobile crisis team responds 24/7/365 when called by various community partners, including law enforcement, to assess individuals out in the community who are experiencing mental health crisis.

Pre-Commitment Services

A person in crisis who is unwilling to seek voluntary treatment, and as a result of their mental health disorder is dangerous to themselves or others – or is unable to provide for their own basic needs – may qualify for this service. We can help you determine whether a person meets the legal criteria for involuntary commitment and treatment. Visit our Civil Commitment Service page to learn more.

CORE – Crisis, Outreach, Response, and Engagement

Benton County Behavioral Health partners with Corvallis Police Department (CPD) to respond to service calls related to mental health crisis. This results in more people getting supportive mental health treatment and resources, and fewer people spending time in the emergency room or jail due to mental health crisis.

Coming in 2024: Benton County Crisis Center

Benton County Behavioral Health is working to create a voluntary walk-in treatment-centered facility that may serve as an alternative to the emergency room, which provides stabilization for individuals experiencing mental health crisis, along with referrals and support for ongoing behavioral health services.

The crisis center will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and serve all ages, regardless of ability to pay, no appointment needed. It is designed to serve anyone who needs a break from stressors to be connected to services and support and will have a “no-wrong-door” approach to support individuals who are having mental health crises for any number of reasons.
