“…Early research demonstrated that emergency screening services could reduce state hospital admissions (Billings, 1978; Delaney, Seidman, & Willis, 1978); that crisis intervention programs such as family crisis therapy produced as good or better outcomes than inpatient treatment, often at lower cost (Auerbach & Kilmann, 1977); and that a wide range of non-hospital settings could be used effectively for crisis resolution (Brook, 1982; Maguire, Lorack, & Hardy, 1979; Mosher & Menn, 1978). The consistency of these research results has led several authors to comment on the surprising lack of implementation of crisis programs (Mosher, 1983; Rissmeyer, 1985).…”

This article reports the results of a comprehensive review of published literature related to the essential components of a CSS. Each component is analyzed with respect to its documented need, effective intervention strategies, and cost. The need for the types of services and supports initially conceptualized as a CSS in the mid-1970s has been well documented. Also, prior research has now set the stage for large-scale, long-term, experimental studies of measurable, replicable CSS-type interventions.There is a developing base of research relevant to community support systems (CSS). Reviews of a variety of research studies have reported that persons with severe and long-term mental illness can be helped in the community without undergoing long-term hospitalization (

Residential Crisis Units (RCU) are non-hospital-based facilities that provide mental health crisis intervention. This paper reviews the RCU literature base and finds good evidence of the ability of RCUs to function as alternatives to hospitalization for many consumers, with equivalent effectiveness and for significantly less cost. Despite this promising research, the RCU model has not been widely adopted. Using two crisis units as case examples as well as key informant interviews, this paper explores factors affecting the lack of dissemination and potential barriers to the growth of the RCU model.
