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.​​
