Crisis Support

  • Mobile Response Teams (MRTs)
    Call or text 988. MRTs are staffed by behavioral health professionals who travel to the individual experiencing a crisis and provide assessment, stabilization, and, if needed, triage the individual to a higher level of care.
    MRT support is no cost and dispatch is done by the Idaho Crisis & Suicide Hotline.

    Mobile Response Teams are available statewide:
    - Monday - Friday from 8am - 6pm MT

    Hours will expand:
    - Starting January 1, 2025 MRT hours will expand to:
    Monday - Sunday from 8am - 11pm MT

    - Starting July 1, 2025 MRT hours will expand to 24/7

  • Crisis Centers - Adult
    Adult Crisis Centers
    Crisis centers provide emergency substance use disorder and mental health services for adults 18 and older.

    Crisis centers are a place for adults to go if they are experiencing a behavioral health crisis, such as suicidal thoughts or withdrawal from drugs, to get help. They can stay for up to 24 hours and receive a bed, food, and services from mental health professionals so they can decide what to do next.

    All services are provided without charge to individuals in need. Individuals may remain at the facility for up to 23 hours and 59 minutes, but most people get the help they need in less time. Services provided include 24-hour hotline, detox services, and crisis intervention and prevention.
