DHCS 庆祝危机护理中心剪彩

洛杉矶和索诺玛县的项目共获得 1500 万美元的资助，用于扩大当地社区的行为健康治疗和康复选择

SACRAMENTO — The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) celebrated the addition of two new facilities that will provide lifesaving treatment for Californians with mental health and substance use disorders (SUD). This week saw two ribbon-cutting ceremonies that are bringing new prevention, treatment, and recovery facilities to Los Angeles and Sonoma counties, adding new capacity for much-needed drug and alcohol treatment programs, mental health wellness services, and recovery support. These are the first of many community treatment sites that are under construction now in 49 counties, and even more sites will be funded and built, thanks to recently approved Proposition 1 bonds, in 2025 and 2026.

“加州民众希望在加州的行为健康系统方面采取紧急行动并取得实际成果，而这正是我们今天所看到的，”州长加文·纽森说道。“感谢加州人民的支持，新的资金注入将使像这样的治疗中心在未来几年内能够在全州各地继续开设。”我们还有很多工作要做，以确保人们能够获得所需的治疗、支持和护理，但今天标志着我们朝着建立新的问责和结果导向体系又迈出了一步。”

“In order to help Californians get the care they need when they need it most, California is investing to increase our crisis care capacity,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “We hear time and again that the greatest barrier to mental health and SUD treatment is reaching individuals who need help. We are committed to meeting people where they are: in their homes, on the street, and in their communities. We envision a future where care comes to our communities and not the other way around.”

Paving the Way Foundation in Los Angeles County and Center Point Drug Abuse Alternatives Center in Sonoma County are expanding behavioral health treatment and recovery options in their local communities.

铺路基金会于4月25日为洛杉矶县的一个社区健康中心举行了剪彩仪式。 该中心包括一套全面的门诊心理健康服务计划，其中包括预防服务、筛查、诊断以及心理健康和 SUD 的治疗/管理。 他们为同时患有精神健康和物质使用障碍 (SUD) 的成年人、涉及司法的个人以及正在经历或面临无家可归风险的人们提供服务。

“This was my dream, my vision, when I returned home after my years of addiction almost 30 years ago – to provide a place of healing, care, and support for those society has neglected and forgotten,” recalls Janie Hodge, founder and executive director of Paving the Way Foundation, a nonprofit that supports Antelope Valley residents in reentry and recovery. “When I started Paving the Way nearly 20 years ago, I wanted to get our community trained in jobs that can sustain them and support their families, be able to give those who are coming home hope, knowing that there are people here in their corner to help them move through the steps of reintegrating into their communities and families,” said Hodge, who also serves on the Steering Committee for the Los Angeles Regional Reentry Partnership, a countywide network of more than 500 reentry service providers and advocates.

中心点药物滥用替代中心 (DAAC) 于 4 月 26 日举行了苏什玛·D·泰勒博士康复中心的剪彩和落成典礼。该中心是一个开创性的新设施，致力于治疗和帮助患有药物滥用障碍的人们康复。该中心提供的服务独具特色，是索诺玛县唯一一家为低收入/无收入男性提供 50 张床位的 SUD 住院治疗机构，也是北加州 Partnership HealthPlan of California 会员唯一一家提供医疗支持的戒断管理服务的机构。

“The Center Point Board of Directors and DAAC Board of Directors are thrilled to announce the ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony of the Dr. Sushma D. Taylor Recovery Center to treat and help individuals recover from substance use disorders. The recovery center’s opening signals a beacon of hope for individuals grappling with addiction. This center is now open because of BHCIP, a collaborative effort of state and community members that exemplifies the power of unity in addressing critical public health challenges,” said Maurice Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Center Point, Inc.

为什么这很重要：
通过行为健康连续体基础设施计划 (BHCIP) ，DHCS 帮助建造、购买或修复建筑物，或投资必要的移动危机基础设施，以扩大社区行为健康治疗选择的范围，服务对象包括患有精神健康和药物滥用障碍、曾与刑事司法系统有过接触、以及正在经历或面临无家可归风险的人群。

BHCIP aims to address historic gaps in the behavioral health care system and meet the growing demand for services and support throughout the lifespans of people in need. DHCS was authorized through 2021 legislation to award $2.2 billion in BHCIP competitive grants. In addition, DHCS will distribute roughly $4 billion in BHCIP grants under Proposition 1 bond funds. Proposition 1 includes the Behavioral Health Services Act and Behavioral Health Infrastructure Bond Act of 2024. Behavioral Health Transformation (BHT) is DHCS’ work to implement Proposition 1. DHCS will hold monthly BHT public listening sessions. Updates and recordings of the sessions are available on the BHT webpage.
