DOTHAN, Ala. - SpectraCare announced on Tuesday that its new crises center should be operational by summer and will focus on immediate assistance to those suffering from mental issues.
The new SpectraCare Crises Diversion Center will provide initial help, usually keeping patients less than 24 hours then releasing them to appropriate long-term care.The cost of the facility is $9.4 million, with the state of Alabama paying much of that cost.He thanked fellow lawmakers Paul Lee, Donnie Chesteen, and Jeff Sorrells for their support.
Kirkland stated that due to the additional financial support of the city of Dothan Houston County Commission and the Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce, the Crisis Center will be located in Dothan.”We are excited to add this much needed crisis center to SpectraCare’s current continuum of care. A project of this scope would not be possible without support from the state and the communities we serve.
State Rep. Steve Clouse said, “The creation of the SpectraCare Crisis Diversion Center in the Dothan-Houston County area was a collaborative effort between the Department of Mental Health and the Wiregrass Legislative delegation in coming to a decision the facility would happen. The delegation worked hard to secure the funding for the operations of putting this facility in place.
How about it’s a stones throw to an elementary school.
