SMA Healthcare’s Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) will increase access to and improve the quality of community mental health and substance use disorder treatment in Volusia County, Florida. Access to a full continuum of service lines to treat addiction and serious mental illness is a well-documented, overwhelming need in the community. In response, SMA will enhance and expand its services to include the necessary staffing, availability and accessibility of services, care coordination, scope of services, quality and other reporting, and organizational authority required to operate as a CCBHC. The population of focus includes consumers with serious mental illness (SMI) or substance use disorders (SUD), including opioid use disorders; children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and individuals with co-occurring mental and substance disorders (COD). CCBHC project goals include: expanded access to existing behavioral health services for the population of focus; implementation of new required CCBHC services, demonstrate improved consumer outcomes, and utilize community relationships to provide certain CCBHC services and improve care coordination. CCBHC will serve 765 individuals during Year 1 and 714 individuals Year 2 with an anticipated total of 1,183 unduplicated individuals by end of Year 2. The CCBHC will provide a comprehensive set of integrated primary and behavioral health care services, including 24/7 mobile crisis and both voluntary and involuntary inpatient crisis stabilization; inpatient and outpatient detoxification; behavioral health screening, assessment, and diagnosis; outpatient primary care screening/monitoring of key health indicators; patient-centered, integrated treatment planning; medication assisted treatment; psychotropic medication management; and comprehensive, trauma-informed, evidence-based, outpatient mental health and substance use services including therapy, psychiatric rehabilitation, Assertive Community Treatment, and peer/community social support, provided in office and through telehealth.
