Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) are designed to ensure access to coordinated comprehensive behavioral health care. CCBHCs are required to serve anyone who requests care for mental health or substance use, regardless of their ability to pay, place of residence, or age. This includes developmentally appropriate care for children and youth.
CCBHCs must meet standards for the range of services they provide and are required to get people into care quickly. The CCBHC model requires:
- Crisis services to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Comprehensive behavioral health services to be available so people who need care don't have to piece together the behavioral health support they need across multiple providers.
- Care coordination to be provided to help people navigate behavioral health care, physical health care, social services, and the other systems they are involved in.
Medicaid Demo
CCBHCs can be supported through the Section 223 CCBHC Medicaid Demonstration, through SAMHSA administered CCBHC Expansion (CCBHC-E) Grants, or through independent state programs separate from the Section 223 CCBHC Medicaid Demonstration. The CCBHC initiative is operated through an HHS partnership across SAMHSA, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.
