Crisis Care Center Celebrates First Year of Service

DETROIT, MI – June 11, 2025 – The Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWIHN) is proud to celebrate its 707 Crisis Care Center’s first anniversary this Friday, June 13th, with an 11:30 AM press briefing.

Our Crisis Care Services team is to be commended for their hard work, blazing a trail for crisis stabilization services in Detroit and Wayne County,” said James E. White, DWIHN President and CEO. “Their dedication enables us to expand care to those who need help during critical times in their lives.”

Since opening, the 707 Crisis Care Center has served over 2,380 individuals, providing access to quality, person-focused services for crisis calls and walk-ins 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The first of its kind facility in the State is located in the heart of Detroit. It provides direct specialized care for individuals in crisis, easing the burden on local first responder agencies, which are not always equipped to offer appropriate mental health support.

“In my previous role, I have seen firsthand how it enhances and supports emergency services,” added White. “It is a major asset to public safety and the overall system of care.”

The Center is unique because all the services are under one roof: Crisis Walk-In, Adult Crisis Stabilization, Youth and Family Crisis Unit, and a special peer-led program called B.E.S.T (Building Empowered Supportive Transition) Unit, which is setting a new standard in the industry.

Most notably, the facility recently received the Gold Seal of Approval from the Joint Commission. This accreditation proves the team’s dedication to continuous compliance and quality performance standards. 

The 707 Crisis Care Center evaluates adults and adolescents in behavioral health crises to determine their medical necessity for crisis-level services. It offers 32 beds to DWIHN’s Crisis Continuum of Care for individuals needing help.

Anyone who needs services can call 313-989-9444, or people can walk in, and they will be assisted by staff.

"With a population of approximately 1.6 million people in Wayne County, we are working to build on this model and expand the crisis bed count by opening additional centers to serve individuals in need, from Western Wayne to Downriver,” said White. “We strive to provide access to quality behavioral healthcare services, no matter zip code, age, or race.”
