From Crisis to Care: A Case Study of How a CCBHC is Revolutionizing MOUD Access

Sponsor: Providers Clinical Support System: Medications for Opioid Use Disorder and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing

According to SAMHSA, in 2019, only 10% of adults in the U.S with any SUD received treatment in part because effective evidence-based treatments for SUDs can be difficult to access in many communities. CCBHCs help address this issue, delivering easily accessible outpatient behavioral health care and SUD treatment through activities including expanded operating hours, same-day appointments, outreach to sidelined populations and moving service delivery beyond clinic walls to reach people in their homes and in the community.

GRAND Mental Health operates 31 clinics and the largest residential substance use treatment center in Oklahoma. By creating immediate access to quality care in the least restrictive environments, GRAND saw 30,000 clients statewide in 2024 and a 93.1% reduction in SUD-related hospitalizations in 2021.

Objectives:
-Discuss the value of the CCBHC model in delivering MOUD services and sustaining OUD treatment.
-Describe the successful programmatic and service delivery attributes of a CCBHC Crisis Center that focuses on SUD and a collaboration between a CCBHC and residential SUD treatment facility.
-Outline how CCBHCs implement evaluation processes, including tracking service models and utilizing data.

Speakers:
-Lowell Robertson, MD, Director of Detoxification, Co-Occurring Disorders, Inpatient and Outpatient Services, Internal and Addiction Medicine Physician, GRAND Addiction Recovery Center
-Kim Hill-Crowell, LCSW, Chief Clinical Officer – Tulsa, GRAND Addiction Recovery Center
