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

薩克拉門托——衛生保健服務部 (DHCS) 和 JWCH 研究所（約翰衛斯理縣醫院）今天在洛杉磯貧民窟地區為一家成人居住型物質使用障礙 (SUD) 治療機構和健康中心舉行了奠基儀式。這個新校區將為無家可歸的患有藥物濫用障礙的成年人和有精神健康問題的人提供重要的心理健康和藥物濫用治療服務。

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研究所正在採取必要措施，透過為最需要幫助的人提供安全、富有同情心的護理，來阻止急診室和街頭之間的惡性循環，」 DHCS主任米歇爾·巴斯說。“我們很高興能與他們合作，擴大洛杉磯縣的重症監護服務。”

“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已發放17億美元的BHCIP競爭性撥款。此外，DHCS 將發放高達 44 億美元的競爭性債券 BHCIP 資金，其中包括 33 億美元用於第一輪：啟動準備撥款。行為健康轉型是DHCS為落實第一號提案而進行的工作。 DHCS定期舉行公眾意見徵詢會。會議的最新進展和錄影可在行為健康轉型網頁上查看。加州正在改革其整個精神健康和藥物濫用治療體系，以便為所有加州人提供更好的行為健康護理。了解更多信息，請訪問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.
