Arbor House, Residential Crisis Stabilization

The Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board's Arbor House is a short-term residential program providing support and stabilization for adults 18 years old and older who are experiencing an acute behavioral health crisis. For some, Arbor House is an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or is a transition from the hospital to home. The program helps individuals to mobilize their resources and community supports to aid in their recovery. Residents work closely with staff to identify goals, stabilize the current crisis and develop a community support system for continued recovery after discharge. Individuals are referred to Arbor House through their local HRCSB or a hospital.

Most residents stay at Arbor House for 7-10 days, although the length of stay depends on the individual’s needs. The program is intentionally structured to provide an intense treatment experience that includes groups and activities throughout the day.
