Comprehensive Community Services
Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) helps people of all ages who are living with mental health and/or substance use needs. CCS is designed for those who need more support than outpatient care but do not require inpatient treatment.
This voluntary, recovery-focused program is:
- Person-centered: You help create your recovery plan.
- Trauma-informed: Care respects your life experiences.
- Team-supported: You are supported by a recovery team of professionals, natural supports, and community resources.
The goal is to help you function and thrive in your home, work, school, and community.
How to Get Started
A quick 10–20-minute call with our Access Line can help determine next steps.

CCS works with all ages and many diagnoses. Participation is always voluntary. For example, court may recommend CCS, but it cannot order someone to enroll.
Each participant works with a Recovery Team that includes:
- You – directing your recovery journey
- Service Facilitator – your main point of contact
- Mental Health Professional (MHP) or Substance Use Professional
- Optional supports – such as family, friends, or other providers of your choice
- Together, you create a recovery plan that supports your goals
