Coleman Professional Services CCBHC - Coleman Professional Services (CPS) will provide CCBHC services to children & adults in six Ohio counties, which were selected because of targeted demographics; for example: Appalachian; rural; high poverty; low median home values. These counties have a combined population of 800,000 adults & children, 52,000 of whom are veterans.

CPS expects to provide CCBHC services to 43,000 unduplicated individuals over the two-year grant period in the identified counties. The CCBHC will begin to address issues that underlie Ohio’s current ranking as 48th of 50 states in healthiness and its self-described health crisis.

Ohio reports that it has experienced a 1.1 year drop in the life expectancy of its residents since 2019, following decades of improvement. The state has identified mental health and SUD rates as well as increases in suicide ideation and depression as areas of concern; tobacco use, obesity, and accessibility to care are other factors that must be addressed to begin to alter the state’s health condition.

Through the CCBHC, CPS will expand EBP clinical training and introduce new EBPs that address factors such as tobacco cessation, suicide prevention, and PTSD. Combining the enhanced CCBHC level of service along with community partnerships & DCOs and expanding crisis intervention and telehealth services in rural or low-population-density areas, the CPS CCBHC expects to increase accessibility (and the number of clients who are receiving care) and reduce HEDIS measures.

Because of the opioid crisis, there is an increase in the prevalence of hepatitis C in Ohio. The CPS CCBHC will expand screening of HIV and hepatitis A/B/C in order to increase the treatment referrals, expecting that an additional 25% or more treatments will occur over the two-year grant period.

With additional CCBHC care coordinators and case managers, CPS also expects to see improvements in outcomes for MH and SUD clients as measured by ASAM and PHQ-9 scores. Additionally, CPS believes that the clients themselves will experience the improvements that the SAMHSA grant will bring to treatments, expecting 90% or more of CCBHC clients to report ‘satisfaction with services’ and/or ‘having a greatly improved quality of life’ because of their treatment.

Through DCOs & partnerships with veteran organizations, the CPS CCBHC expects to see a 25% increase in the number of veterans receiving comprehensive mental health care. For over 40 years, CPS has been providing EBP-focused mental/behavioral healthcare & substance abuse services (including first-episode psychosis treatment program) along with social supports such as peer programs, housing & employment in Ohio.

Ohio Mental Health & Addiction Services and the Ohio Department of Medicaid will collaborate with CPS CCBHC, particularly to help inform the BHCC model being developed under the SUD 1115 waiver. The CPS CCBHC will provide an unprecedented opportunity to bring comprehensive, recovery-focused, patient-centered MH, SUD, physical health, and social support services to a population that is in critical need of help in creating healthier living.

The introduction of CCBHC into Ohio will help lead the entire state to a healthier future.
