Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics CCBHC Improvement and Advancement - Project Name: Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics CCBHC Improvement and Advancement.

Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics' (SBNC) patient population consists of low-income, uninsured, underinsured, underserved, and homeless children, adults, and families as well as veteran adults living in Southern Santa Barbara County. With the expansion of the Bridge Clinic, the population of focus will be Southern Santa Barbara County individuals with an opioid use disorder who can benefit from Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) and an integrated healthcare delivery system (medical, dental, and behavioral health) in a co-located clinic.

The Bridge Clinic second expansion, expected to be completed by October 2022, will provide expanded medical and behavioral health services to patients who have been diagnosed with substance use disorder. The Bridge Clinic's objectives are to increase access to treatment for mental illness, including substance use disorders, particularly those patients leaving the hospital who have been diagnosed or are at high risk for substance use disorders, improve overall lifespan, decrease emergency room visits and hospitalization costs through integrating primary medical/behavioral health care in a co-located environment appropriate for the care of patients with substance use disorders.

Services include bio-psycho-social assessments, psychotherapy to patients (12 years and older), parenting consults for children of all ages, drug and alcohol counseling for adolescent and adults, social service consults and connection with community resources, assistance with disability paperwork, support with primary care treatment plans, crisis intervention for patients, facilitating care between patients, primary care, behavioral health, and the broader community. The Bridge Clinic will serve 500 per year and 2,000 unduplicated individuals throughout the project duration of four years.

SBNC will coordinate its efforts with local and state health agencies. SBNC has a close relationship with the County Public Health Department. Additionally, SBNC plans to expand behavioral health services into its 4 other medical clinics to reach a more integrated delivery model of care.
