ABOUT THE NEIL DOBBINS CENTER
Located in Asheville, N.C., the Neil Dobbins Center treats individuals with developmental disabilities and behavioral health disorders. Known to the greater interstate RHA Health Services network as Facility-Based Crisis (FBA), the program provides short-term crisis stabilization and residential intervention services to adults struggling with behavioral health issues and co-occurring mental health disorders.
The Neil Dobbins Center provides clients with a safe place to stay during a mental health crisis. The typical length of stay is one to four days, as the program is designed for short term assistance. This facility provides treatment for individuals with voluntary and involuntary commitment.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The Neil Dobbins Center is open 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Clients can come into the facility for community-based therapeutic intervention services and assessments at any time. Treatment starts with an evaluation to determine the best course of action and treatment. These assessments are overseen by highly-trained medical staff members.
Clients participate in individual and group counseling. Therapists also help with behavioral management interventions to correct problem behaviors. If needed, medications can be provided managed to support client recovery. Most clients will complete the short-term treatment program as their primary form of treatment. Otherwise, clients may be admitted for longer term treatment that includes ongoing assessments and follow-up treatment options.
Toward the end of treatment, an aftercare plan is formulated that includes ongoing recovery planning. The facility’s staff works with clients to create a support network and to enroll in continued care plan options. Clients are referred to community support services and other treatment, if applicable.
