CMHA-CEI CCBHC Expansion Project - This proposal, titled Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton, Eaton & Ingham (CMHA-CEI), Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Expansion Project, is being submitted in response to Funding Announcement (FOA) No. SM-20-012 for the FY2020 Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Expansion Grants. CMHA-CEI serves the tri-county capital region located in central Michigan which consists of both urban and rural communities (based on the USDA definition of rural) and has a population of almost 500,000 people. Within the CMHA-CEI catchment area, there is a 27% (13,500) gap in mental health services and an 89% (19,700) for substance abuse services (Altarum, 2019). CMHA-CEI is requesting $2,000,000 per year to expand services to 2,500 unduplicated individuals over the two-year funding period. The target populations are: individuals who have Medicaid or are uninsured, underinsured, or have commercial insurance and diagnoses of Serious Mental Illness (SMI), Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), and/or co-occurring disorders (COD). Services will be provided by Nurse Care Managers, Mental Health Therapists, and Peer Recovery Coaches; as well as Ingham County Health Center, IRIS Telehealth, and Hope Network who are Designated Collaborating Organizations (DCO). The DCOs will provide tele-psychiatry services, medication-assisted treatment, and medical oversight for withdrawal management within the CMHA-CEI detox facility. The Ingham County Health Center is also a key partner with providing behavioral and primary health care integration. The goals for the project are: Goal 1: Increase capacity for Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Services to serve more consumers who have a diagnosis of SMI, SED, and/or SUD to improve consumer access; Goal 2: Increase care coordination of behavioral and physical health needs for consumers who have a diagnosis of SMI, SED, and/or SUD and a co-occurring chronic health condition in order to improve health outcomes; Goal 3: Increase the use of Evidence-Based Practices with consumers who have a diagnosis of SMI, SED, and/or SUD to improve their quality of care; and Goal 4: Improve organizational systems and processes to maximize efficiencies in services, professional development, and reimbursements.
