Gulf Coast Center is proud to announce that we are now a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC). As a CCBHC, Gulf Coast Center offers designated service areas a more integrated, culturally sensitive model of treatment and recovery support for adults and families with behavioral health needs, trauma, chronic disease, and barriers to accessing care. “Achieving CCBHC status strengthens our vision to provide better community healthcare and foster healthy living. I am so proud of the collective effort to position Gulf Coast Center to most effectively address health disparities in Brazoria and Galveston Counties.”
– Melissa Meadows, CEO, Gulf Coast Center Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics are designed to provide a robust set of coordinated, integrated, and comprehensive services to all persons with mental illness or substance use disorder diagnoses. Highlights include strengthening accountability in reporting, ensuring coordination of care transitions, and emphasizing care for veterans.
CCBHC certification integrates more physical care, care coordination, and evidence-based practices into Gulf Coast Center’s service array. The community will continue to benefit over time, as Gulf Coast Center’s service delivery is strengthened and reinvigorated by this culturally sensitive, trauma-informed approach.Gulf Coast Center 24-Hour Crisis Hotline 866-729-3848 and Main/Appointments 800-643-0967.
