Centerstone will plan, develop, and implement a new CCBHC in Fort Myers, Florida (C-CCBHC), to provide comprehensive, integrated, coordinated, person-centered behavioral health care; improve access to community-based mental health and substance use disorder treatment; and support 24/7 crisis services, regardless of an individual’s ability to pay or place of residence. C-CCBHC will serve 900 unduplicated individuals (Y1: 80; Y2: 220; Y3-4: 300/yr.). C-CCBHC will serve any individual with a mental or substance use disorder who seeks care at Centerstone’s Ft. Myers CCBHC, including those with serious mental illness (SMI); substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder; children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance (SED); individuals with co-occurring mental and substance disorders (COD); and individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. C-CCBHC’s focus population demographics are expected to mirror area individuals and current clinic clients: 66% White; 8% Black; 23% Hispanic/Latino, with 49% male and 51% female. Of the area’s nearly 1,130,100 adults, 23% are expected to have AMI; 5.5%, SMI; 17%, SUD; 2%, OUD; and 8%, COD. Among the roughly 231,410 youth, 20% are expected to have major depressive episode; 5%, SUD; 1%, OUD. Key C-CCBHC strategies include increasing access/availability of services responsive to community needs (e.g., crisis services; screening/assessment/diagnosis, including risk assessment; treatment/crisis planning; outpatient mental health/substance use services; primary care screening and health monitoring; targeted case management; psychiatric rehabilitation; peer and family supports; and community-based mental health care for Armed Forces/Veteran populations); meaningfully involving service recipients/families in their care; and applying a continuous quality improvement (CQI) approach. C-CCBHC will integrate SAMHSA’s TIP 59: Improving Cultural Competence and 57: Trauma-Informed Care in Behavioral Health to implement evidence-based interventions addressing the full array service recipients’ behavioral health needs (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Assertive Community Treatment, Multi-Systemic Therapy, Parent Management Training, Seeking Safety, Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment, MAT, Illness Management and Recovery, and DIMENSIONS). C-CCBHC will accomplish the following goals: 1) Establish comprehensive, integrated, coordinated, and person-centered community-based services via the CCBHC; 2) Enhance infrastructure/capacity for a full continuum of quality/inclusive coordinated care; 3) Increase access to/availability of timely/high quality services; 4) Implement a measurement-based care process to ensure a comprehensive scope of evidence-based services/supports; 5) Improve health status/outcomes for treatment service recipients across the lifespan; and 6) Apply a CQI approach to drive systems, improve the quality of services, and ensure ongoing service delivery. As a result of these goals/improvements, the project will achieve the following measurable service recipient-related objectives: Decrease symptomatology among 45% with mental health disorders; decrease substance use among 45% of those with SUD/OUD/COD; provide ITPs for 100% of service recipients; improve housing stability among 80% who are homeless/marginally housed; provide 100% with employment case management services per ITPs; improve health indicators among 75% of participating service recipients; reduce past 30-day tobacco use by 30% among tobacco cessation activity participants; achieve no past 30-day criminal justice system involvement among 60% with criminal justice histories; achieve no past 30-day ER/hospitalizations among 60% of service recipients with hospitalization histories; achieve/maintain an 80% follow-up rate; and achieve satisfaction of experience/care among 80% of service recipients/families.
