Emergency Psychiatric Services

If you or a loved one are having a psychiatric emergency, we’re available 24/7.

Our psychiatric emergency department at Memorial Regional Hospital is open 24/7 to treat anyone experiencing an acute mental health or substance abuse crisis — regardless of their ability to pay.

You can count on Memorial Healthcare System for immediate care during a psychiatric emergency. We provide mental status exams and treatment for those who come in voluntarily.

As a Baker Act receiving facility, we are also allowed to examine, treat, and admit people in crisis who arrive voluntarily or involuntarily. Additionally, we can provide court-mandated treatment under the Marchman Act for anyone who is seriously impaired due to alcohol or substance abuse.

Depending on your condition, you may be released and referred to outpatient treatment or admitted to Memorial Regional Hospital for crisis stabilization. 

You don’t need to feel “ready” to reach out. We’ll meet you where you are and stand beside you as you begin your recovery journey. Call today to take the next step.
