DOTHAN, Ala. (WDHN) — On Monday, Dothan will be home to one of the six mental health crisis centers across the state that assist individuals experiencing mental health or substance use crises.
A grand opening for SpectraCare's Crisis Care Center will be held Monday morning.
The center, located at 2700 block of Headland Avenue in Dothan, will provide 15 temporary observation beds for short-term stays of up to 23 hours and 12 extended observation beds for individuals needing support for one to seven days.
