CCS-Comprehensive Community Services-is a program that helps people better manage symptoms of mental health and/or substance abuse conditions and live their best life. Psycho-social rehabilitation services are a wide range of traditional and non-traditional services and supportive activities that assist members with mental health and/or substance abuse conditions who need more comprehensive servic
es than just outpatient (OP) can provide but less than in-patient or institutional care. This is meant in two ways; where the person is in their recovery, as well as where the person is physically. CCS is person centered, so the client chooses the path of their treatment plan, and services can be provided in a non-traditional setting. Oftentimes, services are provided in the client's home or in the community. CCS is a Medicaid funded psycho-social rehabilitation program. CCS is delivered by county based or tribal based organizations who are DQA and Medicaid certified. CCS is supervised by the Department of Health Services (DHS). Manitowoc County has been CCS certified since 2005, and since 2014 is now part of a regionalized shared services model CCS called the Northeast Region CCS Consortium.
