Behavioral Health Emergencies

Are You or a Loved One Having
a Behavioral Health Emergency?

If you or someone close to you is experiencing a behavioral health crisis, Life Savers Emergency Room is here to help—day or night. These situations can be overwhelming and frightening, but you don’t have to face them alone. Our emergency facility is open 24/7 and provides a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where your concerns are taken seriously. We are staffed by Board-Certified Physicians who specialize in managing psychiatric emergencies with personalized care and immediate attention—no waiting, no delays.

Understanding What a Mental Health Emergency
Looks Like

A mental health emergency extends beyond feelings of sadness or anxiety. It includes situations where a person’s thoughts, emotions, or behaviors become dangerous or uncontrollable for themselves or others. This can involve suicidal thoughts, self-harming actions, or even violent behavior. In some instances, individuals may experience hallucinations, delusions, or severe confusion, making it difficult to distinguish what is real. These episodes can arise suddenly and escalate rapidly, which is why immediate medical help is essential. Our team at Lifesavers ER is trained to provide safe, effective interventions during these critical moments.

When to Come to the ER

If you or a loved one is experiencing any signs of a behavioral health emergency, it’s crucial to seek help immediately. These situations can escalate quickly and may pose serious risks to personal safety or the safety of others. Life Savers Emergency Room is open 24/7 with no wait times, providing immediate psychiatric intervention in a secure and supportive environment. Our medical team can stabilize urgent conditions and connect individuals with ongoing mental health resources for continued care. Timely intervention can prevent symptoms from worsening and help individuals regain control during a mental health crisis.

  • Risk of Self-Harm: This includes suicidal thoughts, attempts to end one’s life, cutting, or engaging in other forms of self-injury.
  • Risk of Harm to Others: Signs may include violent behavior, verbal or physical threats, destruction of property, animal abuse, or making threats to seriously harm or kill someone.
  • Loss of Contact with Reality: Individuals may experience hallucinations, delusions, extreme paranoia, or display erratic, disorganized behavior indicating a break from reality.
  • Substance Abuse or Overdose: Drug or alcohol use that leads to an overdose, loss of consciousness, erratic behavior, or requiring medical detox should be treated immediately.

Life Savers ER also provides Medically Assisted Detox for those struggling with substance dependency. Supervised detox is often necessary to manage severe withdrawal symptoms safely and support long-term recovery.

Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety and depression are more than just occasional stress or sadness—they are serious mental health conditions that can disrupt daily routines, relationships, and overall well-being. These disorders may cause overwhelming feelings of fear, hopelessness, fatigue, or panic, making it difficult to function normally.

While long-term treatment through therapy, medication, counseling, or lifestyle changes is often effective, there are times when symptoms become severe and require immediate attention. If anxiety or depression escalates to the point of suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, or complete emotional shutdown, it becomes a medical emergency.

At Life Savers Emergency Room, we provide urgent care for individuals facing life-threatening mental health episodes. Our team of experienced emergency physicians delivers immediate stabilization in a compassionate environment, offering a safe space to regain control and begin the journey toward recovery.
