The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is pleased to announce the release of the updated Certified Community Behavioral Clinic (CCBHC) criteria. To develop the updated CCBHC Criteria, SAMHSA gathered input from the public, key stakeholders, and federal partners. The updated criteria seek to strengthen and update the criteria without significantly adding to state or clinic burden. SAMHSA updated and revised the criteria to 1) respond to developments in the field (e.g., newer terminology, 988 and the crisis continuum, emerging best practices, workforce shortages), 2) update criteria that are no longer current (e.g., reference to outdated electronic health record standards), and 3) address areas suggested by CCBHCs, states, and other stakeholders.
