Behavioral Health Services
Person Centered Care.
Outreach Community Health Centers is fortunate to provide behavioral treatment in an outpatient setting as well as comprehensive clinical case management to support the whole person. Our staff works as a team to provide culturally sensitive and person-centered care and includes psychiatrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, and psychotherapists. Prior to the pandemic, the Behavioral Health Clinic added increased psychiatry services, which uniquely prepared us to serve patients during this difficult time. Because of these added services, quick access to psychiatric care is now available for those in need.
Behavioral Health Services include:
Youth, Family and Adult Services
Individual Therapy
Group Therapy
Substance Use Intensive Outpatient Program
Psychiatric Evaluation and Medication Management
Behavioral Health Consultation
Community Programs
Community Support Program (CSP)
The Community Support Program provides coordinated care and a range of treatment, rehabilitation, and support services for individuals living in the community with severe and persistent mental illness with possible challenges related to substance use. Services are provided through a best practice model, Assertive Community Treatment, with a clinical team including a psychiatrist, nurse, and case managers.
Comprehensive Community Services (CCS)
Comprehensive Community Services is a recovery-focused, integrated behavioral health program for adults with mental health and/or substance use disorders. The program provides a coordinated, comprehensive, community-based array of recovery and treatment services, provided by teams of professionals, peer specialists and natural supports.

“During the pandemic, we’ve been able to reach out more frequently to patients who are generally more isolated. One of our patients is a woman in her 50s who has struggled with crack cocaine and alcohol dependence for a number of years. She has limited technology access, but through the telephone, has stayed in regular contact with her therapist and psychiatric provider. Within the last several months, she has been able to regularly attend our Early Recovery Skills group via our telehealth room in our facility - coming to the clinic to meet virtually with other people, with limited exposure to COVID, since she is not in a room shared with others. Wither engagement in these services, as well as changes in her life that came along with the pandemic (limiting her time with other people, in order to avoid COVID), she’s been sober for 5 months, which is the longest time that she has remained sober in the community. She continues to be motivated and passionate about her recovery.”
