All clients receive continuing mental health services and other supportive services when they return home to help maintain ongoing stability. The BHUCC also features a Crisis Walk-In Center (CWIC) open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., where people can come in if they are experiencing a crisis.

Operated by Star View Behavioral Health on behalf of the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, the BHUCC is designed to alleviate the impact on hospital emergency rooms that are not equipped to deal with mental health related issues.
