Ocean Mental Health Services, Inc. CCBHC continuation and expansion of integrated behavioral health care through Ocean Integrated Services for individuals impacted by SMI, COD and SED. - Ocean Mental Health Services (OceanMHS) proposes to continue services established under Ocean Integrated Services (OIS) in response to Ocean County’s continued Opioid Crisis and the limited treatment capacity for persons with Substance Use Disorders and Co-Occurring Disorders. OceanMHS also proposes to continue integrated Behavioral Health and Physical Health Care to reduce health disparities within this population. Children impacted by parental substance use will also be served. Persons with Substance Use Disorders, as well as Co-Occurring Disorders are frequent users of Ocean County Emergency Departments. Through our CCBHC integrated care, OceanMHS has identified other county entities that persons with substance use disorders and Co-Occurring Disorders frequently interact with to be Urgent Care centers, county jail and municipal law enforcement agencies. OIS expanded Crisis Stabilization Services into emergency departments, urgent care centers, county jail and municipal law enforcement agencies to identify, assess and treat these persons who are likely represented in Ocean County’s high number of deaths from opioids, suicide and premature death due to poor mental and physical health. OceanMHS plans to continue our current efforts to engage Veterans who may be homeless, or struggling with co-occurring disorders. OceanMHS will increase treatment access and CCBHC participation of 1,080 persons presenting in emergency/urgent care settings, jails and municipal police departments. OceanMHS will continue assessment, treatment and support capacity to meet the demand for treatment. 1,080 CCBHC enrolled persons will be referred to existing OceanMHS programming, 600 persons will be screened and assessed for outpatient services and MAT, 384 persons will receive ambulatory detox services, 240 persons will be referred to CCBHC services from inpatient psychiatric admission and 20 peer recovery support specialists will be trained. OceanMHS will continue integrated primary care and care coordination at OceanMHS, other Primary Care providers and add ancillary services of dental care and women’s health/maternal health services. We will engage more women in CCBHC services by removing treatment barriers. Primary care and care coordination will be provided for 378 persons and 15 persons will be referred for dental care and women’s health services. OceanMHS will address the impact of parental substance use on children and adolescents with SED as well as address the need for service to youth with a substance use disorder. 192 OceanMHS SUD enrolled primary caregivers will be identified, 240 youth will be provided service planning, care coordination and linkage to CSOC, and 192 youth/caregivers will be provided education and support services. OceanMHS expects to reduce health disparities in the populations served, which includes Veterans who may be homeless and who have Co-occurring disorders, women with SUD and Co-occurring disorders who experience barriers to accessing treatment, persons intersecting with multiple county systems and children and adolescents with SED who are impacted by parental and personal substance use. OceanMHS is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic and will continue to deliver exceptional care upon receipt of award.
