Louisville’s New Crisis Centers Open | Lexington News

Louisville just launched two new crisis centers — one for adults, one for youth — offering a safe, non-jail, non-hospital alternative for mental health and substance use emergencies. Opened on 988 Day, they’re already serving daily from flexible hours (adults 3 PM–11 PM, youth 7 AM–11 PM) with plans to go 24/7 next year. Staff assess needs and connect people to community resources, backed by city funding and police training to divert calls from arrest or ER trips. These centers join existing support like the 988 Lifeline and housing programs, billing Medicaid and private insurers to stay open. The University of Louisville is also studying the adult center’s impact to improve Louisville’s crisis response system.
