Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics Demonstration Program Report To Congress, 2017

The report was released on October 15, 2018, by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The report is SAMHSA’s first report to Congress about the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) demonstration program, which began in mid-2017. In this report SAMHSA focused on the statutory requirements of Section 223, its implementation, the planning grant that helped states prepare, and the selection of the states to participate in demonstration programs, including activities associated with launching the demonstration programs. The report noted that because states launched their CCBHCs in mid-2017, no outcome data was available . . .
