How to Access Services
Inpatient Services
Services provided in a hospital where a person stays overnight either because there is a psychiatric emergency or because the person needs mental health treatment that can only be done in the hospital. Admission can be voluntary or involuntary.
Psychiatric Inpatient Hospital Services
These are services provided in a licensed psychiatric hospital based on the determination of a licensed mental health professional that the person requires intensive 24-hour mental health treatment.
Individuals are admitted to inpatient services when they have a mental illness, or symptoms of mental illness, that cannot be safely treated at a lower level of care, and, because of the mental illness or symptoms of mental illness, they:
-
Represent a current danger to themselves or others, or significant property destruction
-
Are prevented from providing for or using food, clothing or shelter
-
Present a severe risk to they physical health
-
Have a recent, significant deterioration in ability to function, and
-
Need psychiatric evaluation, medication treatment, or other treatment that can only be provided in the hospital.

Hours: Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
After Hours: (888) 881-4881
Individuals with private insurance should contact the insurance number on the back of their medical card to find out information about their inpatient benefits. This should be done prior to a crisis.
Regardless of insurance, in an emergency, call 9-1-1 or take the person to a hospital emergency room.
An emergency is a serious mental or emotional problem such as:
-
When a person is a danger to himself, herself, or others because of what seems like a mental illness, or
-
When a person cannot get or use the food, shelter, or clothing they need because of what seems like a mental illness.
Admission
Individuals may be voluntarily or involuntarily to a psychiatric inpatient hospital.
Voluntary admission
An individual agrees to go into and/or stay in the hospital. They can choose to leave at any time as long as they are not a danger to themselves and can take care of their own basic needs (e.g., food, housing and clothing needs).
Involuntary admission
Hospitals may keep an individual for up to 72 hours without their permission. Hospitals can do this when the hospital thinks you are likely to harm yourself or someone else and that you are unable to take care of your own food, housing and clothing needs. The hospital will tell you in writing what they are doing and what your rights are. If doctors think you need to stay for more than 72 hours, you have the right to a lawyer and a hearing before a judge. The hospital will tell you how to ask for this.
Sacramento County Outpatient Services
Sacramento County's new Community Outreach Recovery Empowerment (CORE) Program provides services to all
Sacramento County has transformed the Wellness and Recovery Center, Regional Support Team, Guest House, and TCORE Programs into the new Community Outreach Recovery Empowerment (CORE) Program. The CORE Program is operated by the following agencies: Bay Area Community Services (BACS), El Hogar, Hope Cooperative, and Turning Point.
CORE provides specialty mental health outpatient services at 10 sites throughout Sacramento County for Medi-Cal eligible residents. In addition to these sites, services are delivered in the community, wherever requested. Each CORE site has a co-located peer run community wellness center, which is open to any Sacramento County adult seeking meaningful activities.
CORE was designed through feedback and input gathered from consumers, family members of consumers, direct service staff as well as various community stakeholders. CORE combines what stakeholders valued most and adds new enhanced services. Services are strength-based, recovery focused, and flexible. As your needs change, your level of treatment intensity can be adjusted.
Who is Eligible for CORE Specialty Mental Health Outpatient Services?
