Crisis Management & Acute Support Services

Experienced guidance for families navigating mental health, substance use crisis, and legal escalations.

This is The Moment You’re Not Supposed to Handle Alone

A psychiatric hospitalization. A substance use relapse. An arrest. A downward spiral that no one saw coming.

At Liston Education Group, we specialize in crisis management for young adults and adults facing mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders. We provide immediate support, strategic coordination, and a plan you can trust, no matter how complicated the situation may seem.

Crisis Doesn’t Mean Chaos

We know what it’s like to get that call and not know what to do next. That’s where we come in.

We help families move from panic to plan, providing calm, expert guidance through:

  • Psychiatric crises, including suicidal ideation and hospitalization

  • Escalation of substance use or process addictions

  • Legal issues requiring diversion, stabilization, or reentry planning

  • Refusal to engage in treatment or repeated treatment failure

  • Complex dual diagnosis and high-acuity mental health concerns

  • Crisis-level behaviors impacting family safety or wellbeing

Crisis doesn’t wait for the right time.

If you’re worried about your child’s safety, escalating behaviors, or a breakdown in care, reach out now. The sooner we intervene, the more options we have.

Our Crisis Management Services

Liston Education Group offers comprehensive, coordinated support during crisis situations.

  • When crisis strikes, timely and accurate assessment is critical. We gather key clinical, behavioral, and contextual information to evaluate risk, determine acuity, and identify immediate needs. This rapid triage process allows us to prioritize safety, clarify options, and begin building a strategy within hours, not days.

  • For families who need immediate action, we work with trusted interventionists and transport teams who specialize in high-risk transitions. We ensure that everyone involved (from the family to the clinicians to the logistics professionals) is informed and acting in alignment with the client’s safety and long-term recovery.

  • Whether your situation requires detox, psychiatric stabilization, residential treatment, or intensive outpatient care, we connect you quickly to vetted providers. Our network includes programs and clinicians who specialize in complex diagnoses, co-occurring disorders, and treatment-resistant mental health challenges.

  • We act as a central point of coordination. Our team ensures that therapists, psychiatrists, legal advocates, schools, and other key players are informed and working together. This kind of integration supports continuity of care and improves outcomes during even the most complicated cases.

  • Crisis management is only the beginning. We remain involved as your family moves through stabilization, transition, and long-term recovery. Our care management approach is rooted in clinical insight, family dynamics, and forward-focused planning to help you sustain progress and reduce future risk.

“I’ve sat with families at their most overwhelmed — when nothing makes sense, and the stakes are sky-high.

The first thing I offer is calm. The next is a plan”

Who We Support

We work with families across the country seeking crisis intervention for young adults and adults (typically ages 17 to 30+), especially those experiencing:

  • Mental health breakdowns or rapid destabilization

  • Suicidality or self-harm behaviors

  • Complex psychiatric diagnoses

  • Treatment refusal or lack of insight

  • Substance use, overdose risk, or process addictions

  • Reentry needs following residential treatment, legal consequences, or hospitalization
