Oaks Integrated Care - Burlington County Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Development and Implementation Proposal - Oaks Integrated Care (Oaks) is seeking to develop and implement a CCBHC in Burlington County, New Jersey to serve individuals that present with complex health needs, including individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), substance use disorders (SUD), co-occurring mental and substance disorders (COD), youth and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances (SED), Veterans, and the general population receiving behavioral health (BH) treatment in need of coordinated wraparound care. Oaks is one of the largest behavioral health care providers in the state of New Jersey and has been a key player in implementing similar innovative, evidence-based and pilot programs. Despite the significant number of agencies that serve the target populations in Burlington County, the lack of adequate coordination results in fractured care that does not treat the holistic needs of individuals and produces poor outcomes of care. The implementation of a CCBHC in Burlington County is an opportunity to address the primary obstacles to treatment access, address gaps in care, and provide centralized and coordinated care. The CCBHC will provide behavioral health services treatments to meet the challenges of both serious mental illness and substance abuse disorder. The Burlington County CCBHC expects to serve a total of 2,400 individuals and families over the 4-year project period. With the funds provided by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Burlington County CCBHC will provide a single point of contact for those with Behavioral Health issues to obtain behavioral and related physical health services, evaluations, and screenings. As a current CCBHC provider in both Camden and Mercer County, Oaks will provide numerous specialized services such as crisis services, specialized therapies, Care Management Teams, and expanded partnerships to better coordinate care and improve outcomes for the most vulnerable populations. Our mission parallels the goals of the CCBHC, focusing on the whole individual in order to address mental health, substance use, physical health and social determinants that impact health. Like its existing counterparts, the Burlington CCBHC will target the unmet needs of individuals and families with serious mental illness and/or substance use disorders, children with serious emotional disorders, and members of the armed forces and veterans.
