LifeStream Behavioral Center, Inc. is a licensed behavioral health and social services organization with a mission of "Creating Hope, Supporting Recovery and Promoting Health." This is accomplished by providing a continuum of care that is cost-effective, culturally competent, and includes quality treatment, education, case management, and rehabilitation services. LifeStream operates using the following principles: Promoting Quality; Improving Efficiency;, and, Assuring Growth. We are a comprehensive care facility that focuses on the all-around health and wellness of children and adults living with severe and persistent mental illness as well as co-occurring substance use disorders and living at or below the poverty line. Being a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) will allow LifeStream, along with their designated collaborating organizations (DCOs), to provide care coordination services, physical health integration, and crisis management in order to treat our consumers health and wellness needs, not just parts of their illnesses. LifeStream sees a need within Citrus County, Florida for care coordination services and a need to improve access to care for individuals living at or below the poverty line who have been diagnosed with a mental health or substance use disorder. We have also partnered with local organizations to improve Veteran services provided. Data and information sharing with primary care providers is another way that LifeStream will be able to treat our consumers and give them the best possible outcome for recovery and sustainability in the community. Project goals include: 1) Improve health outcomes through increased access to quality, integrated care for all individuals; 2) Improve the patient's care experience. A couple of the project performances will be measured by filling service gaps by 85%, seeing a 20% reduction in need for higher cost, higher intensity services for consumers receiving integrated care, and a 30% increase in the number of consumers with family engagement in crisis management, care planning, recovery, and wellness. Additionally, LifeStream will utilize the National Outcome Measures determined by SAMHSA to monitor and determine increases in the four dimensions of recovery - home, health, purpose, and community. This program will provide peer support to individuals who may benefit through peer counseling and family engagement. We provide an array of services from pre-natal to geriatric utilizing evidence-based practices such as motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy in order to foster positive changes and thinking patterns for our consumers. If awarded, this program will serve 150 unduplicated individuals in the first year, 175 in the second year, 200 in the third year, and 200 in the fourth year, for a combined total of 725 individuals served over the four-year grant period.
