加州和約翰衛斯理縣醫院破土動工貧民窟藥物濫用治療設施

項目將每年為 3,258 個人提供行為健康治療

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.

JWCH 研究所 SUD 治療設施的突破

加州衛生與人類服務部（DHCS）透過「行為健康連續性基礎設施計畫」（BHCIP），向 JWCH 撥款超過 1,450 萬美元，該計畫旨在擴建行為健康機構的基礎設施，以服務有需要的加州居民。隨著最近通過的第1號提案債券，在2025年和2026年，將有更多行為健康治療設施獲得資金並落成。

“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.

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 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 第三輪計畫支持了各項籌備工作，旨在規劃全州範圍內行為健康基礎設施的建置與擴建。這 45 處設施的總經費為 5.185 億美元，用於新建、購置及翻新房地產資產，以擴展行為健康治療與服務資源的連續性。BHCIP 申請者須證明其專案能與行為健康治療及服務的連續性體系相結合，並在服務 Medi-Cal 會員的機構中實施，同時須具備有效的規劃流程，以確保專案已準備就緒，可付諸實施。  

關於 BHCIP 第 5 輪：危機和行為健康連續： 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.
