Proudly serving law enforcement and first responders in our community.
Law Enforcement
The Restoration Center was opened in 2008 with a simple mission: provide a one-stop shop to treat those in crisis so they could stay out of jails and emergency rooms. Since its creation, CHCS has diverted over 100,000 Bexar County residents from emergency rooms and jail cells into treatment programs, saving taxpayers over $96 million.
Within the last few years, the Restoration Center has made tremendous efforts towards the speed and delivery of services for law enforcement officers in our community. We’ve made number of improvements to assist law enforcement officers with prisoners and people in crisis on an ED needing medical attention. Each month, over 1,400 people are diverted and connected to quality care in an effort to reduce arrests and emergency room visits.
Our goal for law enforcement is to provide fast service delivery in order to take the individual, inebriant or ED off their hands, or provide medical attention to the prisoner so officers can get in and out and back into service quickly. If you have an intoxicated person on your hands, an emergency detention, or an injured prisoner who needs medical attention, bring them here!
The Restoration Center Cannot Take:
- Violent individuals
- Juveniles
- People who are seriously injured or suspected of an overdose – EMS needs to transport them to the nearest emergency room.
