Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics
What are Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics?
Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) are local clinics that help people with mental health and substance use disorders. These clinics consolidate various services in one location, making it easier for individuals to access the assistance they require. A person with a mental illness will need to contact several different agencies to obtain a different level of care and rarely can someone obtain both mental health and substance use disorder treatment through the same agency.
- Provide mental health and substance use care in one location
- Help people find services faster
- Offer support to children and adults
- Work with other agencies to coordinate care
The clinics provide complete and coordinated care in one location. They also work with counties, hospitals, social service agencies and others to help people early before a crisis happens. This support helps reduce stress on families, hospitals and law enforcement.
