CREST and Crisis Stabilization
CREST
When facing a mental health and/or substance abuse crisis, it can be difficult to know where to turn. CREST can help you overcome your crisis and connect you to the ongoing services you need. CREST provides rapid access to short-term, recovery-oriented crisis services to address both crisis intervention and stabilization for adults with a mental health crisis. Our crisis services help people as they:
Navigate
Their Crisis
Overcome
Obstacles
Plan Their Ongoing Mental Health Needs
Please call the CREST program at 732-240-3760 “Option 1” for more information or to make a referral.
Crisis Stabilization
Similar to CREST, Crisis Stabilization provides recovery oriented crisis services to assist those struggling with a mental health and/or a substance abuse crisis. Crisis stabilization can work with an individual ongoing until the crisis has been resolved, and longer term treatment is established in the community.

Many community residents may find themselves struggling with the impacts of stress, hardship, anxiety, depression and substance use.
