TEXT VERSION:
A Layered Foundation for Quality, Compliance, and Community Impact
United Services’ designation as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) adds an enhanced model of care and funding to our already strong foundation of licensure and accreditation. These layers work together to ensure the highest quality, comprehensive behavioral health services for the individuals and communities we serve.
1. LICENSURE
Foundation of Compliance and Legal Authority
- Licensed by the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) and DCF
- Meets all state regulatory requirements
- Ensures health, safety, and rights of the individuals we serve
2. ACCREDITATION
Independent Validation of Quality and Safety
- Meets nationally recognized standards
- Demonstrates commitment to quality improvement
- Ensures safe, effective, and person-centered care
- The Joint Commission
3. CCBHC DESIGNATION
Enhanced Model of Care + Funding + Accountability
- Expanded service array (crisis, MAT, outpatient, care coordination, community supports)
- 24/7 crisis access and timely care standards
- Care coordination across systems and providers
- Data reporting and quality measures
Stronger Together
Licensure establishes our legal foundation. Accreditation validates our quality. CCBHC builds on both—expanding access, coordination, and outcomes. Together, these layers enable us to deliver whole-person care that changes lives.
Our Commitment. Our Community. Our Impact.
- Comprehensive Services — Meeting people where they are
- Accessible Care — When and where it’s needed
- Coordinated Support — Across systems for better outcomes
- Quality & Accountability — Data-driven and outcomes-focused
- Stronger Communities — Healthier lives. Brighter futures.
CCBHC does not replace any existing licenses or accreditations. It strengthens our ability to serve with excellence, compassion, and impact.
