Columbia Wellness

Columbia Wellness' Ccbhc Expansion Project - Columbia Wellness Is a Nonprofit Community Mental Health Agency Located in SW Washington State Who Will Provide Comprehensive Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Services Through Funding Provided by Samhsa. Our Mission Is to Provide a Fully-integrated Continuum of Care That Addresses the Whole Person Through Prevention, Early Identification, and Treatment of MH, Sud, and Physical Health Needs Using Evidence-based Practices in One Location. Targeting 1,000 New, Unduplicated Individuals Annually During the First Two Years of the Project, We Designed Our Continuum Based on a Catchment Area Primarily Within Cowlitz County for Adults With Smi, Children With Sed and All Individuals With Sud and an Expected Subpopulation of Veterans and Youth. No Individual Presenting for Ccbhc Services Will Be Turned Away Based on Ability to Pay, Insurance or Place of Residence. Summary of Services to Be Provided: We Will Provide a Fully-integrated, Person- and Family-centered, Recovery-oriented and Culturally-competent Continuum of Care That Address the Entire Person Through the Prevention, Early Identification, and Treatment of Mental Health Disorders, Substance Use Disorders, and Physical Health Needs in One Location. We Provide 24-HOUR Mobile Crisis Services, Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Services, Peer Support Services, Medical and Prescriber Services, Residential Services and a 24/7 Residential Treatment Facility That Offers Psychiatric Crisis Stabilization and Acute Withdrawal Management Services. Our Staff Provides These Services in the Office Setting, in the Community, in Schools, Juvenile and Jails and Are Provided Face-to-face or via Telehealth or Telephonically Where Allowed. Initial Screening and Assessments Determine the Scope of Overall Client Health. Care Coordination Serves as the Very Center of This Program. We Have Many Long-standing Community Partnerships That Enable Providers to Work Together to Provide Intentionally Coordinated Care That Targets the Needs of Individuals With a Goal to Safely Achieve More Effective Care Through Cooperative Agreements and Shared Data. Our Services Use Targeted Case Management and Client Voice Within the Treatment Planning Process to Provide Intentional Care Coordination. Providers Use Evidence-based Practices That Focus on Addressing the Needs of the Individual Which Guide Their Participation in Their Treatment and Recovery Path. Our Project Will Be Supported by Our Advisory Work Group (AWG) That Will Include Those With Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders and Family Members to Provide Input and Guidance on Project Direction, Growth, Services and Policies. This Team Approach Will Enable Our Project to Develop a Strong Momentum Among Stakeholders to Implement a Public Health Approach Across All Populations Using an Integrated Perspective That Is Person- and Family-centered and Culturally and Linguistically Competent. Columbia Wellness’ Ccbhc Staff Will Also Work to Set the Foundation and Procedures in Place to Develop Policy, Expand Referrals, Share Data, and Reduce Duplicative Services.
