Labette Center is Provisionally Certified as a CCBHC!
Labette Center is excited to announce that it has been awarded the Provisional Certification as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) in Kansas by KDADS. A CCBHC model of care system gives Labette Center the tools needed to support a range of mental health and substance use treatment services, providing expanded care while helping to improve access to crisis services and coordinated care across the behavioral health system.
“It is a very exciting time to be a part of mental health services right now,” stated Matthew Atteberry, LSCSW, executive director of the Center. “As a result of a year and half of intense effort, Labette Center is pleased to be able to announce to the community that we have accomplished the goal of receiving the status of provisional certification for being a CCBHC. Becoming a CCBHC is an amazing enhancement to the services we currently provide. This includes enhancing our already 24/7 crisis services to provide even more benefit to our community, adding MAT (Medically Assisted Treatment) and continuing to offer Same Day Access to make starting services with Labette Center more feasible for individuals. This will help us to continue providing the quality care individuals in Labette County are accustom to, and grow to fit the upcoming needs of the community as well.”
In September of 2022, Labette Center has been awarded a grant from SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) to provide the Center with the ability to transition into a CCBHC. This grant will be instrumental as the Center works toward accomplishing all of the goals of becoming a CCBHC.
