California CELEBRA LA COLOCACIÓN DE LA PRIMERA PIEDRA DE LA AMPLIACIÓN DEL CENTRO DE SALUD CONDUCTUAL DE INDIO​​ 

ABC Recovery Center’s residential treatment capacity will more than double​​ 

SACRAMENTO — On July 1, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and ABC Recovery Center celebrated the groundbreaking of a facility expansion that will serve people who need mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. DHCS awarded ABC Recovery Center more than $27 million through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) to build two adult SUD residential units, expanding residential treatment capacity by 120 total beds, in addition to an intensive outpatient treatment for SUD projected to serve 400 people annually.​​ 

With the recently approved Proposition 1 bonds, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built in 2025 and 2026.​​ 

"Organizaciones impulsadas por la equidad como ABC Recovery Center demostraron que son más que capaces de ofrecer una atención innovadora y transformadora a personas en sus comunidades con trastornos de salud mental y consumo de sustancias", dijo Michelle Baass, directora del DHCS. "Queremos empoderarles no solo para continuar con este trabajo fundamental, sino también para ampliarlo y servir a más californianos."​​ 

“This funding is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for facilities like ours that serve the lower socioeconomic population. This funding propels our mission into the future,” said Chris W. Yingling, Chief Executive Officer of ABC Recovery Center.​​  

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EXPANSION PROJECT: The expansion will provide medication-assisted withdrawal management and intensive clinical services in a residential care setting and intensive outpatient services to treat many issues related to SUD. Currently, ABC Recovery Center offers a full continuum of services, including detoxification, primary residential treatment, perinatal residential treatment, individualized day treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and a sober living program.​​ 

POR QUÉ BHCIP ES IMPORTANTE: A través de BHCIP, el DHCS otorga de forma competitiva a entidades elegibles fondos para construir, adquirir y ampliar propiedades e invertir en infraestructura móvil de crisis para ampliar aún más la gama de opciones de tratamiento de salud conductual comunitaria para personas con trastornos de salud mental y consumo de sustancias. BHCIP está abordando las brechas históricas en el sistema de salud conductual para satisfacer la creciente demanda de servicios y apoyo a lo largo de la vida de las personas necesitadas. ABC Recovery Services recibió financiación de la Ronda 3 (Launch Ready) de la BHCIP.​​ 

El DHCS recibió autorización, en virtud de la legislación de 2021, para otorgar 2.200 millones de dólares en subvenciones competitivas del BHCIP. Además, el DHCS distribuirá aproximadamente 4.000 millones de dólares en subvenciones del BHCIP con cargo a los fondos de los bonos de la Proposición 1. «Behavioral Health Transformation» es la iniciativa de « DHCS» para poner en práctica la Proposición 1. « DHCS » organiza una serie de sesiones públicas de consulta en Regular. Las actualizaciones y las grabaciones de las sesiones están disponibles en la sitio web de Transformación de la Salud Conductual.​​ 

ABOUT BHCIP ROUND 3 (LAUNCH READY): BHCIP Round 3 (Launch Ready) supported preparation activities to plan for the acquisition and expansion of behavioral health infrastructure throughout the state. The 45 facilities totaling $518.5 million allowed for new construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of real estate assets to expand the behavioral health continuum of treatment and service resources. BHCIP applicants were required to demonstrate that their projects would expand behavioral health treatment and services in settings that serve Medi-Cal members and have a valid planning process to ensure projects are ready for implementation.​​
