Montgomery County Emergency Service, Inc.

Located on the grounds of Norristown State Hospital in what used to be the Superintendent's residence, MCES' Crisis Residential Program (CRP) was created in 1998 as an alternative to traditional inpatient hospitalization. 

Its purpose is to provide short-term, consumer-oriented treatment in a supportive, home-like environment for adults who are experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis.
