Residential Services

Bridges Crisis Unit (BCU) is a 16 bed, 24-hour intensive crisis residential program designed to provide concentrated, comprehensive services and supports to individuals who are recovering from an acute psychiatric crisis. Crisis residential services are intended to provide a short-term alternative to inpatient psychiatric services for people experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis. Services may only be used to avert an inpatient psychiatric admission, or to shorten the length of an inpatient stay. BCU staff includes psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, peer support specialists and paraprofessionals.

Residential care offers supportive care to individuals who need 24-hour oversight and is at risk for harm from their substance use.  Cedar Roots Recovery, formerly House of Commons (HOC), is a 40 bed men’s facility designed to provide a safe, caring environment that assists individuals during their recovery process.  The goal is stability and skill building.  The program will also provide connection to the next level of care for individuals served prior to completion of the program, as well as connection to supportive community resources.
Treatment at Cedar Roots Recovery is provided by an integrated team and services provided may include:
    • Intake and assessment
    • Individualized treatment planning
    • Individual and group therapy
    • Peer recovery coaching
    • Nursing support
    • Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) to control cravings, and enhance safety and comfort
    • Supportive transportation and connection to community resources
    • Access to medical services 
This program is located in Mason, Michigan and available to individuals 18 years and older.  The length of stay is variable, and based upon individual need.

Residential staff help individuals find an appropriate living situation based on their level of need for training, supervision, and assistance. Individuals may live independently, in foster care, or in homes that are designed to meet their needs and preferences.

AMHS offers residential supports to individuals to help achieve or maintain an optimal quality of life throughout their mental health recovery. These community-based programs provide various levels of care, from supportive independent living to more intensive residential treatment settings, and are designed to help individuals live in the community as independently as possible.

AMHS staff assist individuals in identifying their preferred living arrangement, such as AMHS Residential homes, contracted Adult Foster Care homes, or Supportive Housing, then tailor supports through personcenter planning to meet their Personal Care and Community Living Support needs. AMHS also links individuals to various housing resources in the community, including subsidized apartments, Housing Choice Vouchers, or other HUD-funded programs through the community’s Coordinated Entry referral system.
