加州和聖克魯斯雅努斯新物質使用治療設施破土動工

項目將包括縣內首個為高風險母親及其子女提供住宿照顧設施，並每年為 244 個人提供門診護服務

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.

聖克魯斯的 JANUS： Janus 在專業和充滿關懷的環境中為懷孕和產後患者提供支持性的 SUD 治療服務，同時幫助她們及其家人走上健康和康復之路。Janus 與社區和區域合作夥伴攜手合作，透過提供重要的健康和人類服務，減少孕婦和產後婦女的再次吸毒犯罪。新設施將提供關鍵服務，包括婦女強化門診計劃、後續護理計劃、綜合行為健康服務、附帶醫療服務、強化護理管理、門診麻醉品治療計劃、藥物輔助治療、緊急管理、轉介至康復支持住所和Medi-Cal 同儕支持服務。

為何此事至關重要：透過 BHCIP 計畫，DHCS 向符合資格的機構提供資金，用於興建、購置及擴建相關設施，並投資於行動危機應變基礎設施，藉此進一步擴展針對精神健康及物質使用障礙（SUDs）患者的社區型行為健康治療選項。BHCIP 正致力於彌補行為健康照護體系中長期存在的缺口，以滿足有需要者在其整個生命週期中對服務與支持日益增長的需求。

DHCS 已授予 17 億美元的 BHCIP 競爭性補助金。此外，DHCS 將分配最高達 44 億美元的「BHCIP 債券」競爭性資金，其中 33 億美元將用於第一輪「啟動準備」補助金。「行為健康轉型」是加州衛生與人類服務部（DHCS）為落實第1號提案所推動的工作。DHCS定期舉辦公眾意見聽證會。相關會議的最新資訊與錄影，可於「行為健康轉型」網頁上查閱。

關於 BHCIP 第四輪：兒童和青少年： 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.
