Nevada's certified behavioral health centers available to assist via Telehealth services

CARSON CITY — Nevada’s Certified Community Behavioral Health Centers are offering crisis services and telehealth. CCBHCs focus on person-centered and family-centered outpatient behavioral health services and primary care services for the whole family.

The health professionals at CCBHCs can provide behavioral health services for children, adolescents, and adults. No one will be turned away for inability to pay and CCBHC staff will provide help to individuals to enroll in Medicaid if necessary, and other programs as needed. The clinics also accept insurance or cash payments.

“CCBHCs are committed to providing a connection to care for individuals and families in their communities,” said Department of Health and Human Services Senior Advisor on Behavioral Health Dr. Stephanie Woodard. “If you or a loved one is struggling and need help, please reach out to the center in your area. They are able to provide services using telehealth, reducing the need for you to leave your home to receive care.”
