What Comprehensive Behavioral Health Center does

Comprehensive Behavioral Health Center of St. Clair County, Inc. (CBHC) is a community-based, JCAHO-accredited nonprofit behavioral health organization founded in February 1957 in East St. Louis, Illinois, providing integrated mental health, substance use, crisis, residential, and community support services to children, adolescents, and adults across St. Clair County. Its service portfolio spans outpatient therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and crisis intervention; substance use treatment including the only methadone clinic in St. Clair County; residential housing programs (Supervised, Supported, and Transitional Living); and specialized initiatives including the Living Room crisis-diversion program, Drop-In Center for the homeless, Project for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH), Adult Re-Deploy alternatives-to-incarceration program, and Parenting for Success for teen parents.

CBHC's underlying service technology is grounded in evidence-based treatment methodologies, notably Psycho-Social Rehabilitation (PSR), Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), and medication-assisted therapy with bupad, delivered through an integrated multi-site footprint that includes the main facility at 505 South 8th Street in East St. Louis, an additional East St. Louis site on State Street, satellite offices in Centerville Township, Belleville, and Fairview Heights, plus six housing sites scattered across the region. With more than 140 staff, CBHC serves over 2,000 consumers annually and operates 24/7 crisis intervention with field response, school-based counseling for children ages 5-18, and street-level community outreach.

The business model is a hybrid of public-sector funding and fee-for-service. Revenue streams include Illinois Department of Human Services grants (state and federal pass-through including the Community Block Grant), federal HUD grants, Ounce of Prevention Foundation funding for Parenting for Success, Medicaid and insurance reimbursement for billable clinical services, and patient payments on a sliding fee scale based on family size and income. No one is denied access due to inability to pay. The Center is governed by a Board of Directors with Brian Stewart as Executive Director, Dr. Joseph DeLucia as Medical Director, and Mike Nichols as Chief Clinical Officer, and is currently planning a new campus-style complex in East St. Louis' planned Medical Park District.
