Detroit Recovery Project Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (DRP CCBHC) - Wayne County, Michigan (WC) is the most populous county in the state of Michigan. As of 2018, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated its population as 1,753,893 making it the 19th populous county in the U.S. According to Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority 2017-2018 Annual Report, prevalence rated for SUD 7,879 (10.7%); SMI 39,398 (53.53%), and SED 12, 274(16.6%). Over 414,000 out of 1.74 million persons are living in poverty with WC. The three most impoverished communities average above the national average for poverty: Detroit 39.8%, Highland Park 40.9%, and Hamtramck 50.9%. Within these high-risk communities and in other WC areas many individuals have limited or no access to a comprehensive, integrated array of behavioral and physical health services due to a lack of or inadequate health care coverage. MDHHS Care Connect 360 data identified that over 4% of the individuals served by ESM have a chronic comorbid condition and 40% have five or more. This equates to approximately 3,500 individuals requiring more comprehensive integrated care coordination. Other subpopulations at risk including veterans and youth suicide, as identified by the Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority, with 25.4% seriously considering attempting suicide and 18.6% committing suicide based on the Michigan Profile Health Youth 2016-2017 survey.
DRP is the only peer-led, peer-ran, peer-driven organization in WC that is contracted, licensed and currently providing a full CCBHC continuum services to all target (SMI, SED, CA, COD, Recovery Services) populations. The exception is crisis behavioral health services, which is provided by the state sanctioned crisis behavioral health system.
Detroit Recovery Project proposes to address the underserved mental health (MH) needs of high-risk individuals and families within Wayne County, Michigan. DRP will expand and enhance our continuum of care to increase our service capacity to fully provide person/family centered, integrated health services to all individuals within our community and to meet and achieve Certified Behavioral Health Clinic Certification within the first four months of the award. DRP will serve an additional 735 new CCBHC consumers in service delivery by the end of the Year One and 815 by Year Two, serving a total of 1,550 individuals total.
Our goals are to: 1) Increase capacity and access to outpatient and behavioral health services for the COD, SUD and SED populations in the target catchment area of Detroit, Michigan; 2). Expand complex care delivery and care coordination for individuals with physical health needs (BP, HIV/AIDS, obesity, etc.); 3) Implement Evidence Based Practices (EBPs) for the target populations; 4) Implement specialty services for youth ages 7-17 at risk of suicide or depression; 5) Expand behavioral health and wraparound services for service members, veterans and their families.
