About Harris Center Crisis Residential Unit
The Crisis Residential Unit (CRU) serves as a short-term alternative to hospitalization or a step-down program for adults experiencing a psychiatric crisis that cannot be managed in an outpatient setting. Designed for Harris County residents with serious behavioral health conditions, this voluntary program helps individuals stabilize and regain control over their mental health.
CRU provides a structured, supportive environment for 10–14 days, allowing patients to adjust to medications and receive intensive therapy. Referrals come from hospitals, agencies, and clinical providers—self-referrals are not accepted.
The program offers medication management, therapy, nursing services, and care coordination, along with group skills training on problem-solving, communication, life skills, anger management, and chemical dependency education. The goal is to help individuals develop coping strategies, prevent future crises, and reintegrate into the community.
With its less restrictive, home-like setting, CRU provides a bridge between hospitalization and independent living. By addressing both immediate stabilization and long-term recovery, the program helps individuals regain stability while reducing unnecessary hospital stays, empowering them to move forward in their recovery.
