Community Continuum of Care Programs and Residential Programs

Community Continuum of Care Programs

There are four Community Continuum of Care Programs (CCCP) in Delaware. They include:

• Sussex County: Fellowship Health Resources
• Kent County: Psychotherapeutic Services Inc.
• New Castle County: Horizon House and Connections, CSP.

The CCCP is a comprehensive, integrated recovery approach to working with people diagnosed with severe and persistent psychiatric disabilities (and sometimes a co-occurring drug and alcohol addiction). By partnering with those using the service, CCCP staff helps to identify goals that are meaningful to the person’s recovery. The CCCP programs provide a comprehensive array of resource/service management supports that includes: clinical and rehabilitation services, employment and educational rehabilitation and supports, 24/7 crisis response, full-time psychiatrists, housing assistance, coordination of care with other community providers such as an individuals medical doctor, and supports for families. The CCCP approach allows individuals to remain within one service system in which all services are provided by the same staff.

The Eligibility and Enrollment Unit at DSAMH can answer questions regarding the CCCP programs and is responsible for determining if someone is eligible for CCCP services. For more information, contact the Eligibility and Enrollment Unit.

Residential Programs

DSAMH supports a variety of housing programs throughout the State to assist individuals with serious mental illness with short and long terms housing solutions. There are three main housing programs. These include Group Homes and Supervised Apartments and a Residential Treatment Facility for individuals with co-occuring mental health and substance abuse conditions.

There are currently 17 groups throughout the State. The DSAMH Eligibility and Enrollment Unit manages eligibility for these programs. These programs provide qualified individuals with a safe and supportive home, assist residents in their daily activities and coordinate the services of residents with other community supports. Whenever possible, the goal of the Group Homes is to assist the resident in becoming as independent as possible.

In addition to Group Homes, DSAMH supports 9 Supervised Apartment programs in Delaware's three counties. These programs offer 24-hour support and assistance, coordinate care needs with appropriate community providers and assist residents in their recovery to greater independence.

Finally, DSAMH supports a residential treatment facility for individuals with co-occuring mental and substance abuse conditions. This facility, located on the Governor Bacon Campus, provides services to 15 individuals, offering supports, treatment, and transition services into independent community living.
