Ocean Mental Health Services, Inc. (d/b/a Bright Harbor Healthcare) CCBHC-IA improvements and advances in integrated behavioral healthcare for individuals impacted by SMI, SUD, and COD.

The populations of focus for CCBHC-IA project are individuals with mental illness (MI), substance use disorders (SUD), co-occurring disorders (COD), and physical healthcare needs who are veterans, homeless, HIV/AIDS, at risk of suicide, and prisoner re-entry with serious emotional disturbance whose parents experience SUD.

The geographic catchment area for this project is Ocean County, New Jersey.

Bright Harbor Healthcare (BHH) intends to continue to recruit, hire and train staff in trauma-informed practices. Specific to this project, BHH intends to hire staff to meet the increased need for service for individuals with SUD, COD, and SMI seeking treatment.

We recognize that trauma is often associated with SUD, COD, and SMI, and will utilize this project as an opportunity to train CCBHC-IA staff in trauma-informed care practices to enhance the treatment experience for clients served.

In addition, we will continue to recruit and train staff for the life of the program as necessary.

Under this project, BHH plans to improve and advance all access points to CCBHC, develop street outreach teams operated by ASAM-trained SUD/COD case management staff to meet the needs of individuals with SUD and COD concerns "where they are at", as well as add step-down case management staff to CCBHC project in order to offer increased services to individuals with SMI who have successfully completed IOP level services and are transitioning to less intensive services.

Since BHH has become a fully integrated CCBHC, we have seen an increase in clients with SMI-related concerns successfully complete intensive treatment and maintain residence in the community without rehospitalization.

BHH recognizes that clients living with SMI may require more specialized integrated case management support in order to maintain wellness in the community. BHH intends to increase case management services for our most vulnerable clients with goals of reducing recidivism of reentry to more intensive services including psychiatric hospitalization and intensive programs.

Additionally, Ocean County and surrounding areas are seeing an ever-increasing need for broadened access points and services for individuals with SUD and COD concerns. BHH intends to develop street outreach teams that will provide case management services to individuals and families with these needs.

Our vision is to work with law enforcement, courts, emergency rooms, and family members to provide in the field NJSAMS assessments, treatment planning, and linkage to care.

BHH proposes to improve and advance case management services for CCBHC clients. Clients transitioning from intensive in-community services including IOP will be linked to CCBHC case management services with the goal of providing integrated coordination including assisting individuals in sustaining recovery and gaining access to needed medical, social, legal, educational, and other services and supports.

The CCBHC targeted case management services will routinely assess clients for suicide risk as they are transitioning to less intensive services. CCBHC case managers aim to support clients to maintain recovery while endorsing client's self-determination and choice in treatment.
