Certified Community Health Care Clinic
Certified Community Health Care Clinics (CCBHC) are a new model for providing services to people diagnosed with a mental illness and/or substance use disorder. This model is designed to make it easier for you to receive the right services for your needs by providing convenient access to a wide variety of services including:
- Outpatient mental health and substance use services
- Primary care screening and monitoring
- Screening, assessment and diagnosis, including risk management
- Psychiatric rehabilitation services
- Crisis mental health services, including 24-hour mobile crisis team, emergency crisis intervention services and crisis stabilization
- Patient centered treatment planning
- Targeted case management for adults, adolescents and children
- Peer and family support
- Services for members of the armed forces and veterans
- Care coordination services
Typically a person diagnosed with a mental illness needs to work with several different organizations to receive the necessary services for their care. For instance, this could mean visiting a therapist, a primary care provider, a case manager and a chemical health counselor – all at different places. The CCBHC model changes that by offering these services at Western Mental Health Center.
Western Mental Health Center is a certified CCBHC provider by the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
