Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC)
A Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) is a specially designated clinic that provides a comprehensive range of mental health and substance use services. Just like Vegas Stronger, a CCBHC serves anyone who walks through the door.
Nevada is expanding the number of CCBHC’s in the state and Vegas Stronger is currently in pursuit of the designation. The health professionals at a CCBHC can help if you are in one of these groups:
• Adults with serious mental illness
• Children with serious emotional disturbance (SED)
• Individuals with severe substance use disorders
• Individuals with mild or moderate mental illness and substance abuse disorders
These objectives are accomplished through the provision of the following 9 specifically required services. Vegas Stronger already provides most of these, in a comprehensive and integrated way. In 2024 Vegas Stronger will provide access to all:
- Crisis Services
- Outpatient Primary Care Screening & Monitoring
- Screening, Assessment, Diagnosis & Risk Assessment
- Outpatient Mental Health & Substance Use Services
- Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services
- Case Management
- Person-Centered Treatment Planning
- Community-Based Mental Health Care for Veterans
- Peer, Family Support & Counselor Services
The CCBHC is part of a federal program that provides access to this wide variety of strong elements. Vegas Stronger™ will provide these services to all. But we take it further, with heightened accessibility, evidence-based treatment, longer treatment durations, and integration of our 13 elements of treatment. All to create the best answer to the homelessness crisis in America, wrapped up in a recovery-oriented system of care.
