Great news in behavioral health!

$4 million award for behavioral health

Comprehensive Healthcare has been awarded a $4 million Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Planning, Development and Implementation (PDI) grant for Walla Walla County to help improve access to mental health and substance use care.

The grant showcases the good work being done at our agency and highlights our dedication and proven track record in providing high quality care to individuals with mental health, substance use disorders and co-occurring disorders. The CCBHC grant will provide an opportunity for us to continue to grow and thrive as a behavioral health care agency by focusing on current workflow processes for outreach, screening, assessment, treatment, care coordination, and recovery rehab support enabling us to:

• Decrease the readmission rate for individuals discharged from a psychiatric inpatient treatment facility

• Increase the number of crisis followup services

• Improve timely access to active treatment by decreasing the number of days from intake evaluation to the first treatment appointment

• Increase staff training and knowledge of underserved and/or marginalized populations

Grant awarded for Mobile MAT

We’re pleased to announce that Comprehensive Healthcare has received a grant from the Washington State Healthcare Authority to provide mobile Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services in our underserved communities. With the great deal of interest in getting drug antagonists – drugs that reverse the effects of opioids, heroin and other drugs – in our communities to treat addiction, we will now be able to treat up to 100 people a day in a customized mobile MAT clinic. We will provide optimum client care in a safe, efficient and respectful treatment center. The roll out will be in 2024, and will be serviced by two nurses, a security officer/driver, a medical provider, and a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) counselor.
