캘리포니아 및 존 웨슬리 카운티 병원, 스키드 로우 약물 사용 장애 치료 시설 착공​​ 

매년 3,258명의 개인에게 행동 건강 치료를 제공하게 될 프로젝트​​ 

SACRAMENTO — The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and JWCH Institute (John Wesley County Hospital) today broke ground on an adult residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment facility and wellness center in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles. This new campus will provide critical mental health and SUD treatment services to unhoused adults with SUD and individuals experiencing mental health issues.​​ 

The project will include a two-story building dedicated to behavioral health treatment. The first floor will add a community wellness center to serve 3,258 individuals each year in an outpatient setting. The second story will include an adult residential SUD treatment facility that will expand capacity by 38 beds within an integrated medical campus that offers a range of care. Of the 38 beds, 10 will be dedicated to SUD treatment with incidental medical services.​​

DHCS는 도움이 필요한 캘리포니아 주민들에게 서비스를 제공하기 위해 행동 건강 시설 인프라를 확충하는 ‘행동 건강 연속성 인프라 프로그램 (BHCIP)’을 통해 JWCH에 1,450만 달러 이상을 지원했습니다. 최근 승인된 제1호 법안(Proposition 1)에 따른 채권 발행으로, 2025년과 2026년에는 더 많은 행동 건강 치료 시설에 자금이 지원되고 건립될 것입니다.​​ 

“JWCH Institute is taking needed steps to halt the revolving door between emergency rooms and the streets by offering safe, compassionate care for those who need it most,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “We are pleased to partner with them to expand critical care in Los Angeles County.”​​ 

“There is a lack of SUD residential treatment services on Skid Row, and JWCH will be able to fill the gap in the crisis continuum that currently exists,” said Al Ballesteros, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wesley Health Centers and the JWCH Institute.​​ 

JWCH INSTITUTE: JWCH Institute is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of people in the Los Angeles area who face barriers to accessing care through directly providing or coordinating health care, education, services, and research. Through the new Wesley Behavioral Health and Wellness Center (funded through BCHIP Round 3: Launch Ready grants) and the Crocker Street Expansion (funded through BHCIP Round 5: Crisis and Behavioral Health Continuum), JWCH will provide easy-to-access crisis intervention and stabilization, assessments, and therapy. JWCH will also offer a full range of SUD services, including standard and intensive outpatient treatment and a recuperative care/residential rehabilitation treatment program.​​ 

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.​​ 

DHCS has awarded $1.7 billion in BHCIP competitive grants. In addition, DHCS will distribute up to $4.4 billion in competitive Bond BHCIP funding, including $3.3 billion for Round 1: Launch Ready grants. Behavioral Health Transformation is DHCS’ work to implement Proposition 1. DHCS holds regular public listening sessions. Updates and recordings of the sessions are available on the Behavioral Health Transformation webpage. California is transforming its entire mental health and SUD treatment system to provide better behavioral health care for all Californians. Learn more at mentalhealth.ca.gov.​​ 

ABOUT BHCIP ROUND 3: LAUNCH READY:​​  BHCIP 3차 사업은 주 전역에 걸쳐 행동 건강 인프라를 확보하고 확충하기 위한 계획 수립 준비 활동을 지원했습니다. 총 5억 1,850만 달러 규모의 45개 시설을 통해 부동산 자산의 신축, 매입 및 개보수를 진행함으로써 행동 건강 치료 및 서비스 자원의 연속성을 확대할 수 있게 되었습니다. BHCIP 지원자들은 메디칼(Medi-Cal) 가입자에게 서비스를 제공하는 기관 내에서 행동 건강 치료 및 서비스의 연속성을 바탕으로 한 사업 확장을 입증해야 했으며, 사업 실행 준비를 완료하기 위한 유효한 계획 절차를 갖추어야 했습니다.​​   

BHCIP 5라운드 정보: 위기 및 행동 건강 연속체:​​  BHCIP Round 5 was developed, in part, through a statewide needs assessment that identified significant gaps in available crisis services. This assessment showed the need for a better system of crisis care to reduce emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and incarceration. The 33 awards, totaling $430 million, are being used to build and expand crisis care and behavioral health facilities statewide and will serve vulnerable Californians of all ages, including Medi-Cal members.​​
