Cities, together with county or regional partners, increasingly use triage centers as alternatives to jails, emergency rooms, and other expensive, ineffective responses to substance abuse and mental health crises. City leaders can assist in the establishment of triage centers through championing the effort, enlisting city agencies, exploring funding and data sharing models, and convening county or nonprofit partners. City agencies save both time and money through the use of triage centers.
