Itâs first step: establishing the CCBHC team.
RMHC was awarded a $2 million grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in February to work toward becoming a CCBHC. Over the next two years, RMHC will use these grant dollars to increase internal structure, staff and programming in order to provide better access to care, care coordination, evidence-based mental health services and/or substance use disorder services for persons who seek care.
The goals of the CCBHC program in Minnesota are to increase access to community-based mental health services and substance use disorder services (particularly to under-served communities), advance integration of behavioral health with physical health care, and improve utilization of evidence-based practices on a more consistent basis.
