FY 2024 Behavioral Health Service Expansion - Community Care of West Virginia will expand behavioral health for both mental health services and treatment for a substance use disorder, including treatment with medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). The expanded behavioral health services will follow an integrated care model with primary care services to increase access to a continuum of whole-person healthcare. CCWV is committed to identifying and serving those in rural, medically underserved populations and providing healthcare services regardless of the ability to pay. This expansion will address the barriers and stigma associated with receiving behavioral health services. Barriers to care often include multiple social determinants of health, including food insecurity, lack of affordable and stable housing, transportation barriers, and the lack of health insurance. With a whole-person approach, these barriers will be matched with community-level supportive services to aid in the overall well-being of the patient. CCWV will focus on workforce development to minimize gaps in the behavioral health workforce, increase the number of providers trained to respond to behavioral health needs, and improve the quality of care provided by CCWV staff.
