Inside Acute Care
Longview Campus Logo
Larimer County is home to one of Colorado’s state-of-the-art crisis, mental health and substance-use services centers, thanks to support from our taxpayers.

Nestled between Fort Collins and Loveland, the Acute Care facility at Larimer County Behavioral Health Services at Longview® Campus provides much-needed behavioral health services to people of all ages – 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. 

Led by innovators in their respective fields, the Acute Care team takes an integrated approach to caring for each client’s body, mind, and spirit. 

Nurses, family medicine physicians, therapists, addiction specialists, peer specialists, pharmacists, and more, work as one to provide higher levels of care that weren’t previously available in one place in Northern Colorado. Behavioral health urgent care, withdrawal management, crisis stabilization, fitness center, pharmacy and more – Longview has it all in one place.

The Acute Care facility opened its doors to the community Dec. 2, 2023 and represents an unique, public-private partnership between Larimer County and longtime nonprofit SummitStone Health Partners, which is contracted to provide services.

The Right Care, Right When You Need It

  • Behavioral health urgent care
  • 23-hour observation
  • Crisis Stabilization Unit
  • Medically-monitored withdrawal management (formerly known as detox)
  • Substance-use treatment
  • Individual and group counseling
  • On-site pharmacy/lab
  • Fitness Center
  • On-site kitchen
  • Adolescent beds - Coming summer 2025
  • All clients start in behavioral health urgent care. Each person’s journey may be different from there:
    • Staff support clients to become stabilized, mentally and physically. This could include providing medical care for things like cuts, sprains, or other physical health issues that would, in other similar facilities, result in exclusion from these services. At Acute Care, your physical health condition – even chronic physical health conditions – can be treated alongside your behavioral health issue. Staff also connect clients with community care for long-term support.
    • Clients needing additional, multi-day support beyond the urgent care may go to Acute Care’s:
      • Withdrawal management unit
      • Crisis Stabilization Unit
    • Both units are able to begin treatment for substance use disorder.
    • Services have been provided for children and adolescents since Acute Care’s opening. They will expand in summer 2025 with the addition of five beds in a new adolescent wing for crisis stabilization and withdrawal management.
  • Acute Care has few peers nationwide and is funded by tax dollars through an unique public-private partnership between Larimer County and SummitStone Health Partners.
  • In 2018, voters approved a Larimer County sales-use tax of 25 cents per $100 to expand and enhance behavioral health care services. This funding was invested in the Longview Campus, Larimer County Behavioral Health Services Impact Fund Grant Program, and teams pairing co-responder clinicians with law enforcement officers at regional agencies.
