CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) – The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) recently announced a new expansion of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC).
These CCBHCs provide a wide array of services including crisis mental health services, substance use services, primary care screening, and psychiatric rehabilitation. The program aims to improve access to mental health and substance use treatment services across the state. Illinois was previously chosen as one of the 10 states to participate in the federal CCBHC Medicaid Demonstration Program. The clinics must meet federal standards and must serve individuals for their mental health or substance use condition regardless of age, ability to pay, or location.
“The extensive collaboration between HFS, other state departments, the trade associations and Illinois’ behavioral health providers to implement the CCBHC as a model of care is phenomenal,” said Chief Behavioral Health Officer, David T. Jones. “The CCBHC’s across 19 locations will expand capacity to access, quality mental health and substance use disorder services, with the goal of improving integrated health outcomes throughout the state.”
