CCBHC Transition Program - Individuals living in Denton County who have behavioral health and substance use issues are the target population for this funding opportunity.

There are three identified areas of need specifically related to individuals with behavioral health and substance use issues. The identified needs that will be addressed with this funding opportunity include a lack of enhanced substance use treatment in the county, a lack of primary care options for low-income or unfunded individuals, and a lack of care coordination for low-income or unfunded individuals that inevitably leads to higher costs of care and negative treatment outcomes.

We endeavor to address these issues by enhancing our ability to deliver services via the CCBHC service model. In order to increase fidelity to this service model and provide better service with more options for our community, we plan to increase our capacity in several ways.

We will be adding capacity and new services to our substance abuse program. We hope to supplement our current substance program with ambulatory detox and increase capacity by adding a psychiatrist and an advanced nurse practitioner to support those in our substance programs.

We will add nursing services to the care coordination program so that individuals needing care coordination can be identified, followed up with, and appropriate referrals can be made concerning their health.

We will also be adding capacity to our current primary health program to allow individuals served more access to primary care and to provide the community with more options when choosing a primary healthcare provider.

The implementation of these new or enhanced programs will address significant needs in the community and bring our organization closer to the CCBHC service delivery model.
