A Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) is a clinic that offers a wide variety of mental health and substance use services. These clinics are open to anyone, no matter what their diagnosis is or whether they have insurance. Directly or through formal partnerships, CCBHCs must provide: Crisis Services, Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Services, Person- and Family-Centered Treatment Planning, Community-Based Mental Health Care for Veterans, Peer Family Support and Counselor Services, Targeted Case Management, Outpatient Primary Care Screening and Monitoring, Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services, and Screening, Diagnosis and Risk Assessment. There is a strong convergence of mental and behavioral health challenges, for which CCBHCs are mandated to support, and brain injury.
