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 850 New, Unduplicated Individuals Annually or 3,400 Throughout the Lifetime of This 4-YEAR 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 a Subpopulation of Veterans and Youth Where Improvement and Advancement in Sud Services, Designed to Address Specific Needs of Veterans and Youth, Will Work to Increase Engagement, Retention and Recovery for This Subpopulation. We Have Developed Goals and Measurable Objectives Which Are Aimed at Improving Access to Services, Reducing Unnecessary Hospital Admissions, Expanding Harm Reduction Strategies of Education and Early Intervention to Improve Overall Health and Recovery. Measurement Based Care Will Be Used to Improve Client Rate of Engagement and Satisfaction. No Individual Presenting for Ccbhc Ia Services Is Turned Away Due to Ability to Pay, Insurance or Place of Residence. Summary of Services to Be Provided: We Provide Fully-integrated, Person- and Family-centered, Recovery-oriented, Culturally-competent, and Evidence-based Services That Address the Entire Person Through Screening, Assessment, Prevention, Early Identification, and Treatment of Mental Health, Substance Use, and Physical Health Disorders in One Location. We Provide 24-HOUR Crisis Services, Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Therapies, Peer Support Services, Medical and Prescriber Services, Residential Services and a Residential Treatment Facility That Offers Psychiatric Crisis Stabilization and Acute Withdrawal Management Services. Staff Provide These Services in the Office Setting, in the Community, in Schools, Juvenile/jails, Face-to-face or via Telehealth or Telephonically. Initial Screening and Assessments Determine the Scope of Overall Client Health. Care Coordination Serves as the Very Center of This Program. Columbia Wellness Has Many Longstanding Community Partnerships With Committed and Experienced Providers Who Work Together to Provide Intentionally Coordinated Care That Targets the Overall Health 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. Providers Use Evidence-based and Best 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 Ccbhc Board (formerly the Advisory Work Group (awg)) That Includes Consumers With Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders and Their Family Members Who Provide Input and Guidance on Project Direction, Services, and Policies. This Team Approach Enables Our Project to Maintain a Strong Momentum and Implement a Public Health Approach Across All Populations Using an Integrated Perspective That Is Person- and Family-centered and Culturally and Linguistically Competent.
