Axis Health System - Regional Crisis Center Durango

A state-designated, 24-hour crisis facility in Durango, Colorado, Axis Health System's Regional Crisis Center combines mental health stabilization, community-based withdrawal management, and short-term respite in one location. The center addresses psychiatric and substance use emergencies outside a hospital emergency department when clinically appropriate. Part of the nonprofit Axis Health System, they also provide walk-in and mobile crisis response, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and connections to ongoing care.

Match Immediate Needs With Appropriate Care

Clients can walk in without an appointment or access mobile crisis response. The team evaluates mental health symptoms, substance use, withdrawal risks, and safety concerns to determine the next steps. Depending on their needs, clients may receive psychiatric treatment, medication support, withdrawal management, or safety planning. Those eligible for respite can receive up to 18 hours of short-term support when hospitalization is not necessary, including help with daily needs and coping strategies.

Connect With Ongoing Care

After stabilization, clients may be connected to ongoing therapy, psychiatry, primary care, substance use treatment, and community resources. The team helps arrange follow-up care through Axis Health System or community providers. Referrals may include outpatient counseling, psychiatry, substance use treatment, primary care, and other community resources. Care coordination helps clients understand their next steps and access services after leaving the center.
