Mental Health Rehabilitation Centers

Mental Health Rehabilitation Centers (MHRCs) are locked facilities that provide intensive 24/7 long-term support and rehabilitative services for adults with serious mental illness who would otherwise be placed in a state hospital or another mental health facility. The goal of MHRCs is to stabilize the person and prepare them for a successful transition into the community or to a less intensive level of care.
