CCBHC - Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic

 
 

What is a ccbhc?

The Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model alleviates decades-old challenges that have led to a crisis in providing access to mental health and addiction care. As an integrated and sustainably-financed model for care delivery, CCBHCs have dramatically increased access to mental health and substance use disorder treatment, expanded states’ capacity to address the overdose crisis and established innovative partnerships with law enforcement, schools and hospitals to improve care, reduce recidivism and prevent hospital readmissions.

Recognizing the promise of the CCBHC model, Congress in 2020 expanded the original eight-state Medicaid demonstration program to include additional states, and since 2018 has appropriated grant funding to support CCBHC readiness. Today, 340 CCBHCs are operating in 40 states, plus Washington, D.C. and Guam. A growing number of states are moving to implement the model – similar to other value-based or alternative payment models – independently via a state plan amendment or Medicaid waiver.

If you are experiencing a Mental Health Crisis

Please call us at (800)-803-8833 or 988 for Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, or Grays Harbor County.

The Mobile Crisis Team (MCT) provides an integrated response system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We serve people of all ages who are experiencing a crisis. When direct intervention is needed, our trained crisis staff responds to the site of the crisis, stabilizing and supporting the person until the crisis is resolved or an appropriate referral is made. You do not have to be suicidal to be in crisis or to need our services. No appointment needed, no matter what time of day or night, we are here to help you.
