The Edmond, Oklahoma CCBHC IA project will provide a comprehensive range of outreach, screening, assessment, treatment, care coordination, and recovery supports. The lead organization on the project is NorthCare, a community mental health center serving central Oklahoma. Edmond’s CCBHC (Comprehensive Community Behavioral Health Clinic) project seeks to improve access to community-based mental health and substance use disorder treatment and support, including 24/7 crisis services, to anyone in their service area who needs it, regardless of their ability to pay or place of residence. To address this gap in care, a 24/7 triage and crisis assessment center will be established in Edmond with additional outpatient services. Crisis services will be offered to anyone in need. Specialized behavioral health services will be offered to children with serious emotional disturbance (SED), adults with serious mental illness (SMI), and those with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (COD). This community is lacking local service providers, especially crisis care. This location will provide enhanced services for children under 18 and their families The project will serve 1,000 new individuals over the four-year period. The clinic will offer case management, therapy, parenting, wellness classes and community-based services. Goals of the project include: Increasing access to high-quality crisis services, supporting recovery from mental illness and substance use disorders, using evidenced-based practices, measuring and improving the quality of care, and meaningfully involving consumers and family members in program planning and development. Project objectives include increasing participation in CCBHC services, increased access to depression risk assessments, and improved outcomes around medical issues and self-care.
