The presence of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) in communities is expanding access to mental health and substance use treatment, moving some needed services to nontraditional settings, and helping to correct social disparities, concludes a report released last week by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. The report, based on a survey in which 128 CCBHC sites participated, adds that the CCBHC model is laying the groundwork for behavioral health provider organizations to participate fully in value‐based payment structures that have become more common in the health care industry.
