Champlain Valley Family Center For Drug Treatment And Youth Services, Inc.

Champlain Valley Family Center For Drug Treatment And Youth Services, Inc., doing business as Cbsc, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Plattsburgh, New York, that serves as a federal grant recipient (38% of recent awards as prime recipient) and grant sub-recipient (62% as sub-recipient) delivering substance abuse treatment, youth mental health services, and family-centered behavioral health care to rural northeastern New York under Department of Health and Human Services SAMHSA programs.

Cbsc operates as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) delivering medication-assisted treatment, family therapy, peer recovery support services, care coordination, case management, and trauma-informed outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment. The organization serves youth, young adults, and families ages 10–25 with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders, with particular focus on justice-involved individuals, pregnant or parenting young adults, and those transitioning from correctional facilities or psychiatric hospitalization. Services span Clinton, Essex, and Franklin counties across approximately 4,461 square miles of rural northern New York, serving a region with four mental health health-professional-shortage-area (HPSA) designations, high opioid overdose rates (up 637% from 2015 to 2021), and acute gaps in medication-assisted treatment availability and post-discharge follow-up care.

Cbsc's federal grant footprint concentrates entirely within SAMHSA. As a prime recipient, Cbsc holds a $545,000 Project Grant from SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment under CFDA 93.490 (Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Projects of Regional and National Significance), awarded September 30, 2026, to implement the North Country Youth and Family Treatment and Recovery Initiative, with performance running through September 29, 2031, and targeting service delivery to at least 80 unduplicated individuals annually in years two through five. Cbsc also received a prior Project Grant from SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services, awarded September 30, 2023, running through September 29, 2027, for CCBHC Promotion and Dissemination Initiative work. As a sub-recipient, Cbsc has received funding through pass-through arrangements from the New York State Office of Mental Health and the Research Foundation For Mental Hygiene, Inc., the latter representing multiple sub-awards under New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) Substance Opportunity Recovery initiatives (dates December 2023 through October 2024).

Cbsc's federal customer base is narrow: all eight tracked awards involve SAMHSA within the Department of Health and Human Services, with one award routed through the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $11.9 million. Activity is episodic — one award in 2021, three in 2023, and one each in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with only one award reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure.
