캘리포니아와 야누스 오브 산타크루즈, 새로운 약물 사용 치료 시설 착공​​ 

이 프로젝트에는 고위험 산모와 그 자녀를 위한 카운티 최초의 주거용 요양 시설이 포함되며 연간 244명의 개인에게 외래 치료를 제공합니다.​​ 

SACRAMENTO — The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and Janus of Santa Cruz broke ground on a new facility that will address critical gaps in mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. The facility will provide outpatient treatment for SUD and perinatal and postpartum residential care for women with SUDs and their children up to age 12.

DHCS awarded Janus more than $5 million through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), which works to expand the behavioral health facility infrastructure to serve the most vulnerable Californians. With the recently approved Proposition 1 bonds, in 2025 and 2026, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built.​​ 

Apart from Janus, Santa Cruz County has limited to no perinatal and postpartum residential care for women with complex needs and their children. In addition to serving women and children in Santa Cruz County, Janus’ care extends to people in Monterey and San Benito counties. Through this new BHCIP grant, Janus will serve 244 individuals annually through its outpatient SUD treatment facility. Additionally, the grant will fund 25 beds in Janus’ perinatal residential SUD facility.

“Programs like Janus’ play a critical role in breaking the cycle of addiction,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “The expansion of this facility will help women and children get the care they need at a pivotal time in their lives.”​​  

“Janus of Santa Cruz has provided person-centered SUD services to Santa Cruz County for 48 years,” said Amber Williams, CEO of Janus of Santa Cruz. “This state-funded project will empower us to serve many more children, youth, and families for years to come.”

This effort, part of the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative, is a historic investment that provides grant funding to construct new facilities and expand existing facilities that help children, youth, transition-age youth, and pregnant or postpartum individuals and their families with mental health and/or SUDs.​​ 

JANUS OF SANTA CRUZ: Janus provides supportive SUD treatment services to pregnant and postpartum patients in a professional and compassionate environment while assisting them and their families on their journey toward wellness and recovery. Janus works with community and regional partners to reduce repeat drug offenses among pregnant and postpartum women by providing critical health and human services. The new facility will provide critical services, including a women’s intensive outpatient program, aftercare program, integrated behavioral health services, incidental medical services, Enhanced Care Management, outpatient Narcotic Treatment Programs, Medication Assisted Treatment, contingency management, referrals to recovery support residences, and Medi-Cal peer support services.​​ 

이 조치가 중요한 이유: DHCS는 BHCIP를 통해 자격을 갖춘 기관에 자금을 지원하여 부동산을 신축, 매입 및 확장하고 이동형 위기 대응 인프라에 투자함으로써, 정신 건강 및 약물 사용 장애(SUDs)를 겪는 사람들을 위한 지역사회 기반 행동 건강 치료 옵션의 범위를 더욱 확대하고 있습니다. BHCIP는 도움이 필요한 사람들의 전 생애에 걸쳐 증가하는 서비스 및 지원 수요를 충족하기 위해, 행동 건강 관리 시스템에 존재해 온 오랜 격차를 해소하고 있습니다.​​ 

DHCS는 17억 달러의 BHCIP 경쟁 보조금을 수여했습니다. 또한, DHCS는 1차 공모인 ‘런치 레디(Launch Ready)’ 보조금에 33억 달러를 포함해, 총 44억 달러 규모의 경쟁형 본드 BHCIP 자금을 배분할 예정입니다. 행동 건강 혁신은 DHCS가 발의안 1을 이행하기 위해 추진하는 사업입니다. DHCS는 정기적으로 공개 의견 수렴 회의를 개최합니다. 세션의 최신 소식과 녹화 영상은 행동 건강 혁신 웹페이지에서 확인하실 수 있습니다.​​ 

BHCIP 4라운드 정보: 어린이와 청소년:​​  BHCIP Round 4 focused on Californians ages 25 and younger, including pregnant and postpartum women and their children and youth ages 16-25, along with their families. The 52 awards totaling $480.5 million allowed for new construction and expansion of multiple outpatient and residential facility types, including children’s crisis residential programs, perinatal residential SUD facilities, community wellness/youth prevention centers, and outpatient treatment for SUDs. Please see the BHCIP website for more information about grant recipients and additional details about all BHCIP funding rounds.​​
