• Overview: The John A Hudak Treatment Center is a new 24/7 Diversion Bed Program which offers an alternative for individuals at risk of hospitalization and an opportunity to stabilize while remaining in the community. The primary goals of the program are to restore individuals in non-emergency crisis to their previous level of functioning, prevent trauma associated with readmission to an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and to allow individuals to resume independent living as soon as possible. Division beds can also be used to help transition individuals back into the community after hospitalization by providing short-term supervised support.
