Community Based Services
Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC)
What is a CCBHC?
CCBHC is a care plan that provides a full range of mental health and substance use disorder services to individuals with complex needs. Typically, a person with mental illness must go through several different agencies to receive all of these services, which can be over complicated. In contrast, each CCBHC clinic is an all-in-one provider of an array of services to individuals in need of care.
What services are provided?
A Care Coordinator will ensure that these services are being properly utilized and integrated. Services available include:
-
24-hour mobile crisis teams
-
Screening, assessment and diagnosis
-
Treatment planning and outpatient mental health services

​
Why CCBHC?
CCBHC takes a person-centered and family-centered approach that looks at the physical, behavioral health and social service needs of the individual, since they influence the well-being of a person as a whole. It provides a comprehensive set of services that promote recovery, wellness, trauma-informed care and a focus on whole health to serve individuals in need of care. CCBHC serves adults, adolescents and children, as well as placing a special emphasis on active and veteran military care.
