Reimagine a place people can go when they are in crisis. A place where they are treated, not like patients but as guests. A place where support is provided rapidly and tailored to each individual's unique needs. That place is the Chesapeake Cares Crisis. It is a recovery and stabilization center similar to a hospital emergency department, but offering services in a calm and therapeutic environment.
