The Intensive Crisis Residence (ICR) is a new model of care in New York State designed to provide an alternative to hospitalization for patients who are in crisis but not in need of an inpatient psychiatric facility.

The psychiatrist, who serves in the Clinical Director role, provides direct patient care as well as helps to establish and refine clinical programming, policies and procedures.
