Centerlink - center point, INC. (CPI) is requesting $1,000,000 per year for up to four years from the samhsa center for mental health services to plan, develop, and implement a comprehensive, coordinated, certified community behavioral health clinic (CCBHC) that provides integrated person- and family-centered services. The "centerlink" project will expand and enhance integrated treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) and CO-occurring mental health (COD), behavioral health, and primary care services for 850 individuals over four years. The geographic catchment area where project services will be delivered is marin county, CA, and the participants will be marin county residents, though services will be available to all individuals regardless of their county of residence or ability to pay. The populations of focus for the centerlink project include low-income and racial and ethnic minority residents of marin county who experience historical levels of health disparities with respect to access and successful outcomes, including individuals with serious mental illness (SMI); SUD, including opioid use; children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances (SED); individuals with COD; and individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. The goals of the project are to transform marin county's behavioral health system; enhance SUD and COD treatment and recovery support to increase participants' physical and emotional well-being; and achieve full compliance with CCBHC certification criteria within one year of the grant award. CPI and its designated collaborating organization (DCO), marin community clinics, and the county of marin (24-hour mobile crisis teams) will expand and enhance services to encompass the comprehensive behavioral health system-of-care. CPI is the largest california department of health care serivces-licensed and drug medi-CAL-certified provider of residential and outpatient SUD and COD treatment and recovery residence housing in marin county. MCC is the largest federally qualified health center (FQHC) in marin county, and currently collaborates with CPI to operate a CO-located primary care clinic within CPI's SUD/COD treatment programs in SAN rafael, CA. CPI and MCC are currently in full or substantial compliance with CCBHC certification standards for six (6) of the nine (9) core CCBHC services. CPI will achieve full compliance/adherence within one year of the notice of funding award.
