CORE Team
Behavioral Health Support
AccessHealth offers a unique multi-level behavioral health treatment program that allows our team of Substance Use and Mental Health Professionals the ability to provide Patient-centric care through Access & Customization.
The First level, and the heart of the Behavioral Health Program, is the AccessHealth CORE Team. This team of Behavioral Health Support Specialists provide clients with a wide range of services beginning with initial screenings and assessments. Upon entry into the Program, clients work directly with the CORE team to explore education and treatment options. During this process treatment and referral goals are set, care plans are developed, and collaborations with other AccessHealth resources are established. CORE team services are provided on a weekly basis to help clients develop and practice positive coping strategies, self-care exercises, and healthy habits. Services are initiated immediately upon request, and continue in 4-week units, with the goal of empowering clients toward self-care and self-sufficiency, while maintaining a supportive and consistent presence as they begin and/or wait for services from higher level providers and resources.
