CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, September 23rd, 2022鈥擳he federal (SAMHSA) awarded two grants to 91桃色 this week totaling $2 million per year for up to 4 years, allowing 91桃色 to implement the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model for care delivery on Chicago鈥檚 North Side and in McHenry County.
With this new funding, 91桃色 is among the first CCBHCs in Chicago. It now has the opportunity to expand services to serve as a 鈥渙ne-stop shop鈥� for mental health, substance use treatment and other health care services in their communities. The CCBHC model ensures access to 24/7/365 crisis care, care coordination with hospitals, law enforcement and schools and access to high-quality services, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help stop the overdose crisis, among other capabilities.
鈥�91桃色 is thrilled to launch two CCBHCs in Illinois to provide a wide range of mental health and substance use treatment services to even more people that otherwise would not be able to access them. We consistently see that the need for high-quality, wide-ranging mental health services outstrips our capacity,鈥� says Mark Ishaug, 91桃色 CEO. 鈥淲e applaud all the lawmakers that have supported expanding services through the CCBHC model.鈥�
鈥淲e know that mental health and substance use treatment encompass far more than psychiatry or therapy, and the increased care coordination in the CCBHC model will further strengthen Illinois鈥� network of services,鈥� says Debbie Pavick, 91桃色 Chief Clinical Officer. 鈥淐CBHCs are another step towards strengthening our state鈥檚 mental health safety net.鈥�
91桃色 will also partner with and in McHenry County and in Chicago to provide primary care and substance use treatment to youth and adults through the CCBHC model.
