Singing River Services proposes to provide comprehensive mental health and substance use services to individuals with no payer source. As a certified community behavioral health clinic, Singing River Services (SRS) will apply the knowledge and experience we have accrued over the past 45 years to implement this proposed SAMHSA CCBHC expansion grant in Jackson and George counties located in Southeast Mississippi.

The population to be served includes individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), individuals with substance use and abuse disorders (SUD) including opioid use disorders (OUD), individuals with co-occurring mental and substance disorders (COD), and children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their families. The total number of people to be served annually is 1,106, and the total number of people to be served throughout the lifetime of the project is 2,212.

Our goal is to improve the behavioral health and well-being of adults and children by providing comprehensive behavioral health and alcohol and drug rehabilitation services to those most in need who have no other payer source to obtain these needed services. SRS's objective is to keep individuals with behavioral health and substance use issues stable and within our community, to prevent crisis episodes, and to reduce the number of admissions from our catchment area into state hospitals by 10%.

SRS uses logic modeling and other evidence-based programs and quality improvement tools and strategies for our services. SRS follows SOC values and principles for the following services: Mobile Crisis Response Teams (M-CERT), Intensive Community Outreach and Recovery Teams (I-CORT), Withdrawal Management, Physician Services, Certified Peer Support Specialists (CPSS), State Opioid Response (SOR), Alcohol and Drug Residential Programs, Alcohol and Drug Outpatient Programs, Prevention Services for Substance Abuse and Tobacco Cessation, Individual, Group, and Family Therapy, Community Support Services (CSS), Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services (PSR), and Children's Day Treatment Services.

Our intent is to significantly decrease the number of admissions into state hospitals and to increase the number of adults and children served who do not have payer sources. SRS is seeking funds on this grant for services that are currently underfunded so that we can provide services to more individuals who are in desperate need and have no payer source. Funding through this grant will address the gaps and unmet needs of our target population.
