Crisis Receiving Center Built In Vernal; Now Waiting On Legislative Funding

A new behavioral health crisis receiving center has been built in northeastern Utah but the doors will remain closed until operational funding is secured from the state legislature. Receiving centers are becoming more common in the state to serve as crisis response sites for individuals experiencing behavioral, mental health, or substance abuse challenges in need of immediate intervention and stabilization. One time funding from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services was used for the construction of the Vernal receiving center. It was finished earlier this year and will be run by Northeastern Counseling Services once operational funding is secured. Vernal isn’t the only place in this position. A receiving center was also built in Ephraim using the one time funding but is on hold until operational funding is secured. The Utah Behavioral Health Commission has listed securing funding for both locations as a priority in the upcoming legislative session.
