StarCare CCBHC Expansion Project - StarCare Specialty Health System has been certified as a CCBHC since 2016 after undergoing the certification process facilitated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. This includes meeting the requirements of staffing employees with diverse disciplinary backgrounds and are trained to serve the needs of the patient population. Additionally, StarCare provides available services that are accessible 24 hours a day, offers care coordination across settings and providers, and provides a wide array of services to meet the varying needs of consumers. They also report data and track outcomes.

The five counties currently served by StarCare are designated as mental health professional shortage areas by the Health Resources & Services Administration. The population of focus in the plan outlined in the narrative are individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) and substance use disorders (SUD). These individuals are typically over-utilizers of systems of care that do not meet their needs.

The program goals include increasing the capacity of mental health services in the Lubbock community, reducing unnecessary incarceration due to recidivism, increasing the capacity of SUD services, and reducing unnecessary hospitalizations, ER visits, and incarceration time for individuals with substance use disorder.
