The South Dakota Department of Social Services received a $2,000,000 Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Planning Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) with a project period from December 31, 2024 to December 30, 2025. The grant funds will be used to design a CCBHC demonstration program for the state, with three primary goals: 1) identifying gaps in the public behavioral health system and providing training/technical assistance to help providers achieve CCBHC certification readiness; 2) exploring prospective payment systems through South Dakota Medicaid; and 3) provisionally certifying CCBHCs by the end of the planning grant period to launch a future demonstration grant. The project will involve key staff from the Department of Social Services' Division of Behavioral Health and South Dakota Medicaid, supported by contracted subject matter experts. The goal is to enhance access to comprehensive, integrated mental health and substance use disorder treatment services statewide through the CCBHC model.
