View Point Health Job Title: Assistant Director Job Code: A0450/Assistant Director Shift: Full-Time (40 hours per week on average) Job Hours: Times May Vary Base Location: Lawrenceville, GA. Division/Department/Program: Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) View Point Health is a partner with DBHDD that provides individual and group counseling, medication management, recovery and crisis stabilization services for behavioral health and developmental disabilities.

Our recovery approach is with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mental health clinical support services, substance use support and medication management. Our goal is to provide person-centered care and utilize a trauma-informed approach to our client and their treatment. A Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) operates 24 hours/7 days a week (including weekends and holidays) to provide a safe and structured environment for clients experiencing a mental health crisis. The services are like residential treatment but provide a higher level of care due to our acuity of the clients who are in crisis. Our units operate much like a psychiatric hospital.

Clients do not leave the facility during their stay with us. Additionally, we offer a Temporary Observation Unit (TOU) at the Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit.
