Milton Keynes Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT)

The team provides support for people who:

• Are over the age of 18.
• Are a resident of Milton Keynes or registered with a Milton Keynes general practitioner (GP).
• Are in an acute phase of serious mental illness, or are suspected to have an acute mental illness. This may include service users who have a dual diagnosis, such as a learning disability or substance misuse.
• Are suffering a relapse of a long term mental illness.
• Are vulnerable or at risk of harm to themselves or others, who cannot be safely supported in a community setting without an intensive level of support, care and treatment.

The team is unable to support people who:

• Are under the age of 18.
• Are not in an acute phase of a serious mental illness.
• Could not be safely treated within a community or residential setting, due to risks posed by the environment or individual.
• Have a primary diagnosis of alcohol or other substance misuse, or a learning disability, or a physical problem, without a mental health problem.
• Have a primary organic diagnosis at any age, such as dementia.
• Are in crisis that is social in nature, and where there is no current evidence of acute mental disorder.
• Cannot be safely managed in the community, such as those at risk of offending.

Service users can be referred through the Milton Keynes Single Point of Access (SPA) cnw-tr.spa@nhs.net, via A&E or through your Community Mental Health team.

The service is open seven days a week, 8am to 10pm.
