Our approach to care
CMG Piedmont Psychiatric Adult Urgent Care (PPAUC) offers walk-in psychiatry and behavioral health services specialized for Adults 18+. PPAUC is a steppingstone between the time your mental health symptoms began and your next psychiatric appointment.
If you or your child are under the age of 18 and need mental health services, please go to the nearest Emergency Department or schedule an Outpatient appointment with your child's psychiatrist.
DON’T WAIT if you or someone you know is experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis, such as suicide or overdose, call 911 immediately and/or go to the nearest Emergency Department.
