Crisis / Emergency

If you are in crisis and this is a non-medical emergency, or if you need to reach us immediately, please call the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or the RVBH direct crisis line at 1-800-433-7291 (1-800-769-4920 for TDD/Hearing Impaired).

Our Crisis Line program is a 24/7 crisis intervention, information, and referral telephonic service that is provided free of charge to individuals needing help. We also offer several other levels of support for individuals in crisis, including our Crisis Stabilization Unit and our Mobile Crisis Team.

Crisis & Information Line

RiverValley offers a free and anonymous call line for individuals in any type of crisis. This line can also be accessed via text and chat through RVBH’s web portal and is staffed around the clock with trained crisis call technicians to promptly address client needs.

Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU)

CSU is an 8-bed residential facility in Owensboro that serves as an alternative to hospitalization for those experiencing a mental health crisis. Specifically for adults 18 and over, this treatment program operates a highly-structured program 24/7 in a home-like residence in the community. Only individuals with no serious medical complications and not requiring 24-hour nursing care are eligible.

Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Crisis Services (IDD Crisis Services)

Crisis situations can happen to anyone at any time. For mental health emergencies, RiverValley Behavioral Health offers round-the-clock access to IDD staff who are available to support the individual through a crisis and reduce risk.

Mobile Crisis Team (MCT)

For individuals in a mental health or substance use related crisis that can’t get to RiverValley, a Mobile Crisis Team is ready to respond 24/7, 365 days a year. Our MCT is a highly trained team of clinicians, case managers, and peer support professionals that can assess, triage, and provide emergency services for all ages.
