As part of our full continuum of services, PORT Health operates three Facility-Based Crisis units in eastern North Carolina. Our FBC units are staffed with qualified medical and clinical professionals to help individuals stabilize and recover in a safe and insulated environment. We have 25 facility-based crisis beds available for both scheduled and walk-in admissions. Prescribers, tele-medicine, and labs are located in each of our clinics so that prescribers and patients can work together effectively and efficiently.
PORT Health strives to deliver integrated treatment in an effective and seamless manner - from early crisis stabilization to acute symptom management, to counseling, to medication-assisted treatment (MAT). We use a patient-centered approach to create individualized treatment plans using our most up-to-date evidence-based practices. With our three pillars of professionalism, compassion, and outcomes, each patient will receive treatment geared towards stabilization and prevention of future crises - treatment tailored to address "the whole person".
