The Division of Behavioral Health (DBH) currently has 20 Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics serving all of Missouri's 114 counties. The CCBHCs are in compliance with the new federal standards for CCBHCs, and are eligible to participate in the Demonstration Project.
CCBHCs are required to provide:
- Crisis Mental Health Services
- Screening, Assessment and Diagnosis
- Patient-centered Treatment Planning
- Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services
- Screening and Monitoring of Health Risks and Status
- Targeted Case Management
- Psychiatric Rehabilitation
- Peer and Family Support Services
The populations of focus for CCBHCs include:
- Adults with serious mental illness
- Children and youth with serious emotional disorders
- Children, youth, and adults with moderate to severe substance use disorders
- Children and youth in state custody who have behavioral health conditions
- Young adults with mental illness or substance use disorders identified as in need of treatment by the courts, law enforcement, or hospital emergency rooms.
CCBHCs are required to provide services to members of the armed forces and veterans consistent with guidelines set forth by the Veterans Administration.
The Demonstration Project (which began on July 1, 2017, and runs through September 30, 2025) is designed to convert Medicaid reimbursement for community behavioral health services from a fee-for-service reimbursement system to a prospective payment system while improving the availability, accessibility, and quality of community behavioral healthcare.

- In March 2023, SAMHSA released the updated criteria (PDF | 1.3 MB) for certifying community behavioral health clinics in compliance with the statutory requirements outlined under Section 223 of PAMA. Clinics and states are on different schedules to come into compliance with the updated criteria, with most being required to come into compliance by July 1, 2024. See this summary of changes (PDF | 273 KB) and the redline edits (DOC | 181 KB) from the existing criteria to the updated criteria and an implementation timeline for the different CCBHC programs and deadlines from coming into compliance with the updated criteria.
