UCP's community health and behavioral services (chbs) is a NYS article 31 outpatient mental health (MH) clinic and office of addiction support and services (oasas) article 32 outpatient substance use disorder (SUD) treatment program that serves over 5,200 individuals annually, many of whom have a myriad of medical, behavioral, and social challenges.
