Project Abstract for New Vista’s CCBHC Expansion New Vista is a leading provider of behavioral health services in Central Kentucky. The CCBHC expansion grant allows the expansion of behavioral health and physical health services in Fayette county. Additionally, the grant provides for the development of a new expanded service center in Madison county. The New Vista Health Centers offer person-centered, integrated services. The comprehensive array of services includes community-based outpatient behavioral health and substance use services, primary care services, 24/7 crisis center services, psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery support services in one location to serve both urban and rural populations. New Vista has already developed a pioneering approach to care in Central Kentucky, by opening a New Vista Health Center (NVHC) in Fayette County. A similar NVHC will be developed in Madison and serve Madison plus the surrounding counties of Clark, Estill and Powell. The NVHC's comprehensive array of services will ensure that individuals are receiving coordinated treatment. Some of the additional services that will be offered are Intensive Outpatient Program, Peer run Drop-in Center, Therapeutic Rehabilitation Program (TRP), Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), and engagement/outreach team. The populations of focus for the CCBHC project include individuals with a Co-Occurring Disorder (COD), Severe Emotional Disturbance (SED), Serious Mental Illness (SMI), and Substance Use Disorder (SUD in a five-county implementation area. The implementation area will include Clark, Estill, Fayette, Madison, and Powell counties. The target populations have a demographic makeup consistent with the five-county region (about 85% White and 10% African American). The populations also include uninsured and underinsured individuals, and veterans. One of the project goals is to expand low barrier services to increase access to behavioral health and primary health care for individuals with a COD, SED, SMI or SUD diagnosis. Common barriers to treatment include transportation, income, benefits and time as individuals navigate multiple systems of care. The CCBHC expansion grant will allow New Vista to improve access and coordination of behavioral health and physical health care services. The project is expected to increase the number of unduplicated clients served. Last fiscal year New Vista served 7,500 unique individuals in the five-county implementation area. We project our expanded services will allow us to serve at least 9,375 (25% more) unique individuals year one and 10,312 (an additional 10%) year two.
