What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Crisis Services

Crisis Services is a substance use & mental health operated by Local, county, or community government in Bakersfield, California. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 8 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Mental health treatment, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth), 1 substance or condition category treated (General substance use disorders), and 7 clinical treatment approaches (Cognitive behavioral therapy, Couples/family therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Group therapy, Individual psychotherapy, Integrated Mental and Substance Use Disorder treatment, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy).
