Health Center Program Grant Number: H80CS00020 ARMS is proposing to use expanded Behavioral Health Service Expansion funding to increase the number of individuals receiving mental health and substance use disorders (SUD) services, including patients receiving MOUD treatment. ARMS will expand services by integrating behavioral health into primary care services to treat the whole person’s health and wellness. This will be accomplished by adding and implementing a multi-disciplinary team with the appropriate credentials as well as enter into agreements with external partners that will aide in providing SUD treatment services to expand MOUD services. Staffing pattern will include a psychiatrist, psychiatric practitioner, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Case Managers and Peer Specialist. Expanded services provided will include but not limited to diagnostic assessments, crisis intervention, counseling, pharmacology, and MOUD treatment. Eligible participants are patients needing increased access to behavioral health and SUD services, including persons experiencing homelessness, uninsured and/or underinsured, persons with other social determinants risk factors. The Behavioral Health/SUDs multi-disciplinary team will include ARMS’ Primary Care Physicians and Psychiatric Practitioner working collaboratively with the Licensed Mental Health Counselors and Licensed Clinical Social Workers, providing same day services when possible through a warm handoff approach. ARMS will also collaborate and partner with community-based organizations specializing in treating behavioral health and SUDs patients (including dually diagnosed) patients that may also require inpatient crisis stabilization and other treatment needs.
