The Current reports Lafayette selected 302 Dulles Drive for a planned 24/7 walk-in behavioral health crisis center that may be months from opening.
Lafayette identifies a site for a planned crisis center
The Current reports that Lafayette selected 302 Dulles Drive as the location for a planned 24/7 walk-in behavioral health crisis center. The report describes the center as planned, rather than open, and says Lafayette may still be months away from opening it.
The Current says the selected site will share a building with an outpatient clinic operated by a regional human services district. The supplied extract does not state an expected opening date, describe the center’s capacity, or identify which services will be available at the location.
A walk-in behavioral health setting
According to The Current, the proposed Lafayette site is intended to operate around the clock and accept walk-ins. The report identifies it as a behavioral health crisis center, but the supplied extract does not provide information about eligibility, referral requirements, payment options, transportation, or whether appointments will be offered.
The Current does not state whether the planned center will serve people from Lafayette only or from a wider area. It also does not provide details about staffing, partnerships, construction or renovation work, or the steps remaining before the location can open.
Part of a statewide effort
The Current reports that crisis centers are part of a statewide effort to divert people from emergency rooms and jails. The extract does not say how Lafayette’s planned center will measure that goal or provide projected results for the local site.
The report’s description places the Lafayette project within Louisiana’s broader effort to create alternatives to emergency rooms and jails for people experiencing behavioral health crises. However, The Current’s supplied extract does not say whether the site has begun accepting visitors or when local residents should expect it to do so.
What this means for Louisiana patients
For people looking for treatment locally, The Current’s report identifies a planned Lafayette behavioral health crisis-center location, while the directory lists 20 published clinics in Louisiana for people seeking local TMS treatment information. The source describes a crisis center, not a TMS service.
