Twelve Things You Should Know about ADMHS 1. ADMHS operates the managed care Mental Health Plan for Santa Barbara County. We provide specialty alcohol, drug and mental health services for children with serious emo onal disorders (SED) and adults with severe mental illness (SMI) and addic on. (Individuals with mildto moderate mental illness may receive behavioral health care through CenCal, community clinics, primary care physicians, lowcost counseling services and other community providers.) 2. The purpose of behavioral health services is to foster resiliency in children and recovery in adults. 3. Most ADMHS clients are children from lowincome families and low income adults who have Medi Cal, California's version of Medicaid. Some clients do not have insurance. 4. ADMHS supports a wide array of programs based on a client s age and the extent of challenges. For example, therapy from network providers is a rela vely low intensity service. Adult clients with greater needs may be served by clinics, supported housing and Asser ve Community Treatment (ACT) programs. Individuals the most acute needs may require inpa ent care. 5. The first step in obtaining services is calling the 24/7 Access Line, 888 868 1649. A licensed clinician will provide a telephone screening and direct the caller to appropriate next steps. 6. Individuals seeking assistance for problems related to alcohol or drug dependence may call the ADMHS Alcohol and Drug Program, 681 5440. 7. ADMHS behavioral health services are provided by both county staff and contracted communitybased organiza ons (CBOs). 8. ADMHS receives a substan al share of its funding from the Mental Health Services Act, also known as MHSA and Prop 63. MHSA requires adherence to five guiding principles: community collabora on, cultural competence, client and family driven services, integrated service experiences and a focus on wellness, resiliency and recovery. 9. To assist people experiencing mental health crises, call the 24/7 Access Line, 888 868 1649. When a person experiencing a mental health crisis poses a threat of immediate violence, call 911. 10. People with psychiatric disabili es are far more likely to be vic ms than perpetrators of violent crime (Appleby, et al., 2001). People with severe mental illnesses, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or psychosis, are 2 ½ mes more likely to be a acked, raped or mugged than the general popula on (Hiday, et al.,1999)." 11. Many individuals with mental health challenges self medicate with alcohol or other drugs. Consequently, ADMHS s ongoing efforts to integrate the delivery of alcohol, drug and mental health services are very important. The combina on of mental illness and substance use disorders is called dual diagnosis or cooccurring condi ons. 12. ADMHS operates a 16 bed psychiatric hospital, the Psychiatric Health Facility, or PHF. The PHF is currently the only facility in Santa Barbara County offering inpa ent care for individuals under involuntary holds, or 5150s.
Doce cosas que debe saber sobre ADMHS 1. ADMHS administra el Plan de Salud Mental (Mental Health Plan) en el condado de Santa Bárbara. Proveemos servicio especializado de salud mental y contra el alcohol y drogas para niños con serios desórdenes emocionales (SED) y adultos con enfermedades mentales severas (SMI) y adicciones. (Personas con enfermedades mentales leves o moderadas pueden recibir cuidado de salud de conducta a través de CenCal, clínicas de la comunidad, médicos primarios, servicios de consejería a bajo costo y otros proveedores en la comunidad.) 2. El propósito de los servicios de salud de conducta es promover resiliencia en niños y recuperación en adultos. 3. La mayoría de los clientes de ADMHS son niños de familias con bajos ingresos y adultos con bajos ingresos que tienen Medi Cal, la versión de California de Medicaid. Algunos clientes no tienen seguro médico. 4. ADMHS apoya una gran variedad de programas basados en la edad del cliente y la naturaleza de sus dificultades. Por ejemplo, terapia dada por un proveedor de la red es un servicio de poca intensidad. Clientes adultos con mayores necesidades pueden ser atendidos en clínicas, vivienda asistida y programas de Tratamiento Comunitario Asertivo (Assertive Community Treatment, ACT). Personas con necesidades más severas pueden necesitar servicios de hospitalización o internación. 5. El primer paso para obtener servicios es llamar a la Línea de Acceso, 888 868 1649. La línea está disponible las veinticuatro horas del día, siete días a la semana.
