The DeKalb Regional Crisis Center is centrally located and provides outpatient crisis assessments and interventions for consumers of all ages and disabilities living in DeKalb, Fulton and Clayton counties. The facility houses several services to promote Crisis services being delivered
in the least restrictive environment possible. These include the following levels of care: Psychiatric Emergency Services, Temporary Observation Unit, Stabilization Unit, and the Mobile Crisis Unit. Crisis Services are provided under the direction of the Director of Crisis Services who is a clinical nurse specialist and the Crisis Services Medical Director who is a Board Certified Psychiatrist. Staff includes physicians, clinical nurse specialists, professional counselors, registered nurses, and paraprofessionals. The DeKalb Regional Crisis Center also employs a full time pharmacist, contracted security officers, food service providers, and housekeeping staff.

The focus of Crisis treatment is identifying factors that precipitated the crisis, development of a treatment plan to manage the crisis or resolve the situation, and linkage of the consumer to appropriate follow-up care in a timely manner. Case coordination is required for the development of appropriate referral, education of consumers regarding the importance of continuing their care, and support of maximal independence in their community.
