First, a note of sincere appreciation for the local matching support provided by Indian River County Board of County Commissioners. This matching support helps New Horizons access over $20M of state and federal funding. New Horizons is the region's most comprehensive behavioral health service provider serving over 12,000 individuals annually (— 1,900 in IRC). We have served as a core provider for Indian River County and the Treasure Coast for over 65 years. New Horizons' system of care provides 24/7, tailored, accessible continuum of care, from immediate short-term inpatient crisis support for adults and children; to outpatient medical, therapy, case management and supportive living services supporting recovery and the improvement of abilities to complete instrumental activities of daily living (higher productivity and community participation) to multi -disciplinary specialty programs addressing more acute outpatient needs of children and families (FACT/CAT). This system supports early identification of individual's needs, connecting them to the resources they need while providing support as they navigate their care and the related processes to access this care. New Horizons provides programs that address the health and psychosocial needs of some of the most vulnerable children and families in Indian River County experiencing short-term crisis or other mental health episodes. Our services enable these individuals, children and families to stay active in their communities. Our services assist individuals experiencing acute and/or chronic behavioral health conditions that are often exacerbated by psychosocial barriers such as homelessness, criminal justice involvement, or days away from school. EMERGENCY SCREENING CENTER The Emergency Screening Center is available for children and adults who are experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. Services include evaluations for mental illness, serious emotional disturbances, and chemical dependency in order to determine the appropriate level of care. If a more extensive evaluation is required, individuals may be admitted to the Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit, Child Crisis Stabilization Unit or Detoxification Unit either voluntarily or by legal order. Referrals to other less restrictive services are made when appropriate. MOBILE RESPONSE TEAM The Mobile Response Team provides on-site assessment, crisis intervention, therapy, linkage and referral for people who are experiencing crisis 24 -hours a day, 7 days a week. Services are accessed by a referral from families and individuals or law enforcement officials, emergency room staff, or school officials. Services also include follow-up as needed to promote crisis resolution, evaluation and arrangement for inpatient hospitalization if necessary. Mobile Crisis services are provided by trained mental health professionals in an effort to provide safe alternatives to involuntary admission to a treatment facility. Mobile Response will respond to crisis situations in the community within sixty minutes. ADULT CRISIS STABILIZATION UNIT (ASU) INPATIENT ASU is a 25 -bed unit that provides emergency and acute care services for people experiencing a mental health crisis. The Unit's primary function is the evaluation, diagnosis and stabilization of mental illness and/or co-occurring substance abuse disorders. This is accomplished by providing a protective environment, medication, counseling and discharge planning with the client's family and social support system. DETOXIFICATION UNIT (DETOX) INPATIENT DETOX is a 20 -bed unit (an increase from 12). The Detox Unit is a non -hospital service for adults who are experiencing acute symptoms from substance use disorder. The Detox Unit provides necessary medication to prevent and manage withdrawal symptoms. It also provides psychosocial evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment to establish motivation for continued sobriety. When appropriate, we provide MAT induction and referral to MAT service providers.
