Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA) will establish a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) in Santa Fe Springs, CA to serve the most disadvantaged residents of L.A. County with substance use and mental health disorders, specifically: low-income people of color; individuals persecuted by the local War on Drugs; the homeless; LGBTQ+ persons; veterans; and persons at highest risk for HIV/Hepatitis/Other STDs. From 8/30/2021 - 8/29/2023, a minimum of 300 adults, children, and youth will be served by the project. Certification as a CCBHC will be achieved within four months of award notification, to be facilitated by L.A. CADA’s strong experience with behavioral healthcare licensing/certification in California, and consultation provided by the National Council on Behavioral Health CCBHC Success team. Our CCBHC Designated Coordinating Organizations will include: L.A. County Substance Abuse Control and Prevention; AltaMed Health Services Corporation; Universal Community Health Centers; and Pacific Clinics Mental Health Services. L.A. CADA has 50 years’ experience with the implementation and delivery of behavioral healthcare for low-income residents of L.A. County. All DCOs also have the required experience. An Advisory Work Group of individuals with lived experience in recovery will provide the project with input on planning, implementation, and service delivery. The proposed CCBHC will deliver: screening, assessment; diagnosis; treatment planning; individual and group therapy and/or SUD counseling; peer recovery support; linkage to community recovery supports; case management with transportation to needed services; as well as linkage to primary care and vocational/educational support. The CCBHC will be part of L.A. CADA's comprehensive continuum of culturally responsive behavioral health safety net services in Los Angeles County. L.A. CADA provides: 199 residential treatment beds; 188 Recovery Bridge Housing Beds; and over 500 slots for nonprofit outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment. Our programs are based in low-income communities, schools, the L.A. County jail system, and co-located in local courts and the Department of Children and Family Services.
