Community Clinic to Offer Additional Mental Health and Sud Services to Our Community. the Addition of These Team Members Would Allow Us to Also Offer Services at a Third Service Site Location, on Our Mobile Unit, and Add Medication Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) Services, Which Would Break Down Barriers to Accessing Care by Having More Locations Available for These Services and Adding Another Moud Treatment Provider in the Community. the Addition of a Registered Dietitian Will Also Allow Us to Fill an Identified Gap in Offering Comprehensive Care to Individuals Diagnosed With Eating Disorders and Other Mental Health Disorders With Co-occurring Health and Nutrition Concerns. the Ability to Provide a Comprehensive Treatment Team May Reduce the Risk of Hospitalization and Medical Complications Associated With Mental Health Disorders and Substance Use Disorders Which Reduces Cost of Care for the Community. Current and Proposed Patients: the Behavioral Health Expansion Grant Will Increase the Number of People Served From 380 to 664.
