The Emergency Support Program provides support to individuals who are experiencing a mental health or substance abuse emergency. The Emergency Support Program is designed to provide one-time assistance to those individuals in immediate and emergent need to gain access to supports such as medications, physicians, therapy, transportation, etc., to avoid unnecessary hospitalization or other more intense levels of care.
