Enhancing community care through transformation to CCBHC - United Services, a community-based outpatient behavioral health center, seeks to improve behavioral health care across the life span for the population of focus through transformation to a CCBHC. The populations of focus for this program are: any individual with a mental or substance use disorder who seeks care, including those with serious mental illness (SMI), substance use disorder (SUD) including opioid use; children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance (SED); individuals with co-occurring mental and substance disorders (COD); and individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis.

United Services expects to serve 2,000 people in year one of the project, 2,500 people in year two, 3,000 people in year three, and 3,000 people in year four. The total number of people served over the course of the project is 10,500.
