Crisis Services

Community Outreach for Psychiatric Emergencies (C.O.P.E.) is a comprehensive set of crisis services provided by Hegira Health, Inc., in response to a growing need by the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWIHN) to centralize and mobilize adult crisis services across Wayne County.

With more than 40 years of experience in crisis services, and having maintained the only community-based 24-hour walk-in center since 1980, Hegira Health Inc. took on this challenge without hesitation. 

 

Through planning and collaboration, COPE opened in March 2016 to change the delivery of adult crisis services in Wayne County. The system improvements provided by COPE benefit a broad scope of stakeholders, including but not limited to consumers, consumer families and other support systems, hospital emergency departments, emergency responders, and community clinics.

24-HOUR WALK-IN CRISIS SCREENING

Hospital Pre-Admission Reviews (PAR)

COPE clinicians will complete Pre-Admission Reviews (PARs) on behalf of DWIHN at hospitals for Wayne County residents with medicaid. The purpose of the PAR is to determine medical necessity and to offer consumers the least restrictive level of treatment during a crisis and DWIHN will accept payment responsibility.

 

PARs are conducted face-to-face and may be completed telephonically when appropriate. A telephonic review is conducted when one or more of the following critical indicators are present:  

  • Serious suicide attempt

  • Harm committed to someone else

  • Major damage committed to property 

  • Severe psychosis with refusal of medication

Dispositions for treatment are to be determined in 2 hours or less from the initial request.  

Staff of Emergency Departments and Adult Foster Care Homes may request a Pre-Admission Review by calling 844-296-COPE.

Mobile Crisis Stabilization

Mobile Crisis Stabilization Teams are available seven days per week to follow-up with consumers post discharge from acute crisis services. This service may continue for up to 28 days.

Prior to the consumer leaving the CSU or hospital, a stabilization appointment is offered and scheduled when services are accepted. 

 

These services include the following:

  • Assessing the Individual served needs

Hegira Health's Mobile Crisis Co-Response model was developed in late 2018 to provide community based crisis intervention for individuals who come in contact with law enforcement and have behavioral health needs.

Mobile Crisis Teams co-respond with officers 24/7, providing crisis intervention and stabilization at the person’s home or elsewhere in the community and linking them to ongoing support to address their mental health and substance abuse needs.
