WV Integration of Primary and Behavioral Health Care - The West Virginia Promoting Integration of Primary and Behavioral Health Care Program will serve 20,000 adults with serious mental illness who have co-occurring physical health conditions or chronic diseases and adults with a substance use disorder over the next five years. Using EBPs, three providers will serve residents of 16 counties to improve health and provide mental health services, including SUD treatment.

The West Virginia Bureau for Behavioral Health will focus on two target populations outlined in the Promoting Integration of Primary and Behavioral Health Care FOA: adults with serious mental illness who have co-occurring physical health conditions or chronic diseases, and adults with a substance use disorder. West Virginians have reported the lowest well-being of any state in the U.S. for the past ten years. Health indicators are poor among adult West Virginians, with one in four adults smoking tobacco, 12.9% reporting CVD or stroke, 43.5% reporting high blood pressure, 72.0% being overweight or obese, and 16.2% diagnosed with diabetes. These factors contribute to 8.5% of the adult population reporting major depressive episodes, serious mental illness being reported in 5.7%, and 22.9% of adults reporting having some type of mental illness.

West Virginia has the highest age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths involving opioids, and the number of HIV cases diagnosed is on the rise. West Virginia also has the highest HBV and HCV rates in the nation. Tuberculosis rates are below the national average, but risk factors increase for several vulnerable populations such as the homeless, injection drug users, and those with HIV.

Three provider partner agencies were identified to work on this project: Seneca Health Services Inc., Southern Highlands Community Behavioral Health Center, and United Summit Center, which cover 16 counties or 1/3 of the state. Annually, an estimated 13,500 unduplicated individuals will be served, with a five-year goal of serving 20,000. The agencies identified ten different EBPs: Motivational Interviewing, WRAP, WHAM, SBIRT, NEW-R, Million Hearts, CBT, MAT, TIP 45, and Collaborative Treatment to Decrease NAS.

There are three main goals and 14 objectives. The goals include promoting the full integration of primary and behavioral health care, improving the overall wellness and physical health of adults with a SMI and individuals with SUD, and offering integrated care services related to screening, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental and SUD and co-occurring physical health conditions and chronic disease.
