The Rimrock Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Expansion Project will allow Rimrock, the leading addiction and mental health treatment center in Montana, to more effectively serve our clients with the full continuum of CCBHC services. As a CCBHC, Rimrock will facilitate access to community-based crisis, treatment, recovery, and support services for mental and substance use disorders (SUDs), advance the integration of behavioral health with physical health care, and utilize evidence-based practices to improve patient outcomes.

The population of focus for this project is individuals with mental health and SUDs in Yellowstone County, the largest community in Montana, and the surrounding region. The demographics of our clinical population will reflect the rural, western nature of our patient population, which is 73% Caucasian and 16% Native American. Nearly 15% of our patients are homeless, with 37% residing in dependent living situations. 98% of Rimrock's clients have an SUD diagnosis, 2% have a mental health diagnosis, and 81% have co-occurring disorders.

The goals of this project are:
1) Improve the continuum of behavioral health crisis services available to Rimrock clients in Yellowstone County.
2) Improve the continuum of community-based outpatient behavioral health services available to Rimrock clients in Yellowstone County.
3) Improve the continuum of community-based outpatient behavioral health services available to Rimrock clients in Yellowstone County.

The measurable objectives for this project are:
1.1: Staff, train, and ensure operation of all CCBHC required behavioral health crisis services by the end of the fourth month of the project period, including a new 24/7 mobile crisis unit run by Rimrock in partnership with local law enforcement.
1.2: By the end of the project period, serve at least 400 clients with behavioral health crisis services operated by the Rimrock CCBHC.
2.1: Staff, train, and ensure operation of all CCBHC required outpatient behavioral health treatment services by the end of the fourth month of the project period, including a new PACT team to serve individuals with SDMI and co-occurring disorders.
2.2: By the end of the project period, provide community-based outpatient behavioral health treatment services to 150 clients in Yellowstone County.
3.1: Enhance Rimrock's ability to provide all CCBHC recovery services through the development of a clubhouse that will offer recovery supports and psychiatric rehabilitation services by the end of the fourth month of year 1 of the project period.
3.2: Provide CCBHC recovery services to 2500 Rimrock clients by the end of the project period.

Activities under this funding application will allow us to better track patient outcomes, integrate referral networks, and ensure robust treatment planning and coordination of care for all clients. This funding will allow us to develop 24/7 mobile crisis response, assertive community treatment, and psychiatric rehabilitation services. We will serve 2250 individuals in year one of the project period and 2500 unduplicated individuals by the end of year two.
