Overview

Clara Martin Center’s Certified Community-Based integrated Health Center (CCBHC) focus is on mental health and substance use disorder needs.  A qualified and caring team of professionals work to provide a comprehensive range of outpatient, person-centered, and trauma-informed care services for adults and children with complex needs while working with primary care physicians and other providers and community partners for care continuity. 

We are working to expand quality healthcare to anyone without insurance and those underinsured throughout Orange County and the greater Upper Valley.  We will not turn anyone away.

*SPECIAL NOTE: The SAMHSA federal guidelines refer to the program initiative as “CCBHC: Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics”. However, the term “behavioral health” does not align with DMH values. Therefore, in partnership with state government departments and the Vermont CCBHC Steering Committee, the name “Certified Community-Based integrated Health Centers” has been selected as the CCBHC program title in Vermont. This name reflects ongoing integration efforts across the state.

In 2014, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (H.R. 4302) passed in Congress.  Section 223 of the legislation establishes a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) program to improve mental health services in select states. It establishes clear definitions and service guidelines for CCBHCs, creating a common definition for high-quality, accessible, and comprehensive care. It also outlines two new payment models to improve reimbursements by using costs of services provided rather than fee schedules.

The CCBHC is designed to:

  • Provide a comprehensive array of services to help improve access to physical and behavioral health services
  • Help stabilize people in crisis
  • Provide the necessary treatment for those with the most serious, complex mental illnesses and addictions
  • Integrated additional, innovative services
  • Ensure a person-centered approach to care that emphasizes a welcoming environment, recovery, wellness, trauma-informed care, and the integration of physical and behavioral health services

While focusing on the whole person, those who seek services will have a team to manage their healthcare needs and to connect individuals and families to supports and resources that address medical, housing, employment, and other important needs.

  • Crisis mental health services
  • Screening, assessment, and diagnosis
  • Patient-centered treatment planning
  • Outpatient clinic primary care screening and monitoring
  • Targeted case management
  • Psychiatric rehabilitation services
  • Peer support, counseling, and family support
  • Intensive mental health care for those in the military and  veterans
