Infinity Health offers an Access Center that’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year round in Osceola, where our experienced professionals assess and stabilize people in crisis. Services from the Access Center are a cost-effective way to connect residents with local treatment and the help that is so critical to their overall wellbeing.
Court Evaluations
An Access Center serves individuals on a no reject, no eject basis and cooperates with local jurisdictions to help determine the appropriateness of court-ordered treatment. In this way, proper outcomes can be achieved more quickly, saving money, time and hassle for everyone involved. Many times, hospital care isn’t necessary and can be avoided through an evaluation at an Access Center. When inpatient care is called for, Access Centers can even provide the medical clearance necessary for a receiving facility to make its best admission decisions.

Mobile Crisis
Mobile crisis is an on-site intervention provided by qualified crisis response staff for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. Staff, working in pairs in an individual’s home or other locations in the community, reduce the level of risk present in the crisis situation, identify needs, develop action plans, coordinate referrals with other mental health resources and follow up until appointments with the individual’s preferred provider take place. Mobile crisis provides an alternative to admission to hospitals or correctional facilities.
