Maryville, Inc CCBHC Project 2022 - Maryville, Inc. serves approximately 5,000 unduplicated consumers with substance use and mental health disorders throughout the state of New Jersey. The majority of these consumers reside in counties that will be served through the Maryville CCBHC, including Camden, Gloucester, Cumberland, Salem, Burlington, and Atlantic counties.

These individuals have diagnosable substance use disorders (SUD), mental health, and/or gambling disorders, often accompanied by physical health issues. It is concerning that individuals with severe and persistent mental illness live approximately 25 years less than individuals without mental illness. This may be due to the myriad of medical conditions that may be undiagnosed or unmanaged by someone with mental health issues and/or chronic substance use.

Unfortunately, those living in poverty, uninsured, unemployed, and/or homeless are typically not tending to their physical health. All six of the counties to be served have higher unemployment, disability, and drug overdose rates compared to the rest of the nation. Additionally, all counties have rates of frequent mental distress that are equal to or greater than the state and national averages.

According to each county's 2020 needs assessment, the areas of need are in housing, employment, primary, behavioral, and mental health treatment access, and transportation. This data clearly illustrates the need for enhanced mental health services and highlights the impacts of physical health in relation to treatment and overall well-being.

The targeted populations identify common primary health concerns that disproportionately impact minority populations and put additional stress on behavioral health. Therefore, there is a focus to support the enhancement of crisis management services and expand the organization's outreach to promote support and resources for those with substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health concerns.

With SAMHSA grant funding, Maryville will look to advance services for substance use disorder and mental health to improve outreach and accessibility. The organization will also improve integrated services provided for those with serious mental illness (SMI), serious emotional disturbance (SED), substance use disorders (SUD), and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (COD). The goal is to reduce high-risk behaviors related to mental illness, substance use disorder, and physical illness that may contribute to poor overall health outcomes. This includes improvements in housing stability, employment, education, family and social supports, food security, and other social determinants of health.

The overarching theme of project activities will focus on providing comprehensive, integrated, coordinated, and person-centered services that are culturally competent and equitable to all populations while meeting CCBHC certification criteria. Specific expansion of services to be provided through grant funding includes implementing 24/7 crisis mental health services, psych rehab services, outpatient delivery of primary care screening and monitoring of key health indicators, intensive community-based mental health for members of the armed forces, veterans, the elderly, LGBTQ+, and criminal justice-affiliated subpopulations.

This proposed CCBHC project will also further educate Maryville staff on supporting the consumer population and advancing the delivery of care through Maryville and partner agencies.

Project evaluation will be successful through support from the Innovations Collaborative for Program Assessment, Development, and Monitoring, and Reporting. To meet the project objectives, Maryville will also work alongside SAMHSA to collect, monitor, analyze, and report clinical quality measures to understand the outcomes of the project and the overall impact on the community. Additionally, Maryville will work with state and local agencies to properly monitor clinical and demographic data, enhance social determinants of health tracking and resource connection, and meet the needs of each consumer within the community.
