Madera County broke ground on a $27 million mental health and addiction crisis center designed to serve adults and youth in behavioral health emergencies. The 17,000-square-foot facility at 14277 Road 28 will provide care for individuals experiencing mental health crises who do not require hospitalization or involvement in the justice system.
Facility design and capacity
The Crisis Stabilization and Sobering Center will have enough beds to serve 16 adults or youth daily and another 10 beds dedicated to people with addiction. The facility will offer a place for rest and care for those in crisis, with an emphasis on dignity and community-based support. According to Supervisor Leticia Gonzalez, “This is about meeting people where they are, with care and dignity. It’s a step toward a stronger, more responsive behavioral health system for our community.”
Funding and timeline
Ninety percent of the $27 million funding came from California’s Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program. The facility is expected to open by July 2027.
