What this is and what this isn't

It isn't a service exactly.
It's more an overriding part of our services.

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.
*It should be noted that we have a variety of methods to offer help and not every one of our services is a CCBHC, but most are.

Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC)

Think of it as an all in one service - a total package care plan.
