About Peace River Center Bartow Crisis Campus
The Bartow Crisis Stabilization Unit of Peace River Center is located in Bartow, Florida. They’re available 24/7 and also run a crisis helpline and a mobile crisis response team. Peace River accepts health insurance and also has a reduced fee based on income for folks without insurance.
The crisis stabilization unit gives people access to a short-term but intensive stabilization for people experiencing an urgent behavioral health issue. People tend to stay fewer than four days. They accept clients of all ages including children under 10 years old. This is the only unit in the nearby counties that accepts patients this young. They are accredited by The Joint Commission and have 30 beds for adults and children.
Clients get psychiatric stabilization and evaluations as well as discharge planning services. You’ll have access to group counseling, recovery education, referrals to necessary services and family education. People may be voluntarily or involuntarily admitted to this unit.
The Bartow Crisis Unit also runs a mobile crisis response team. This free outreach program gives people access to immediate support. You can access this by phone, walk-in or by having the mobile team come to you. They will give you counseling, referrals and link you to other services. I like that they provide follow-up contact. If you’re struggling with mental health or substance use urges, this mobile team can support you. They also support people following trauma such as school violence or sudden loss of life.
The Peace River Center hotline is available 24 hours a day for anyone who is in emotional distress or has an urge to use substances. I like that they have added a text/chat option. You can now use a mobile device or computer to connect with a counselor.
