Aurora Mental Health Acute Care Center

The new building for Aurora Mental Health and Recovery (AHMR) will provide groundbreaking treatment and support, providing both care and housing for those in need.

The Acute Care Center at 1290 Potomac St. would bring AHMR walk-in crisis services, crisis stabilization unit, Connect to Care same-day services and detox program together under one roof on a campus that would also include housing and a health care building.

The center wouldn’t just care for people in crisis. It would also be open beyond traditional hours so that members of the public could walk in and at least begin the process of connecting with an outpatient therapist. AHMR’s goal is to be able to connect people with care regardless of where they visit.
