Rendering of the DuPage County Crisis Recovery Center, which began construction in Wheaton April 8. DuPage County broke ground Monday on its 33,000-square-foot Crisis Recovery Center , which will provide immediate treatment for people experiencing serious mental health or drug addiction situations.
“This crisis recovery center will be the first of its kind in the country because it will treat children and that is an area that has been in desperate shortage for many many years,” DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy said in a press briefing Friday. “Parents don’t know what to do, where to go, who to call, and this facility will be that somewhere to call, someone to respond and now we have somewhere to go.
Collaborating with law enforcement and emergency services will be necessary as patients brought to the CRC may not require traditional medical care, but it’s expected that most patients will either come to the facility on their own or will be brought by family, friends or neighbors, Health Department Executive Director Adam Forker said in a June interview with the Pioneer Press.
