About CCS:
Under Chapter
HFS 36, WI Administrative Code,
Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) for Persons with Mental Disorders and
Substance-Use Disorders provide a flexible array of individualized community
based psycho-social rehabilitation services authorized by a mental health
professional to consumers with mental health or substance use issues across
their lifespan.
The intent of the services and supports is:
-
to provide for a maximum reduction of the effects of the individual’s
mental and substance abuse disorders
-
to restore consumers to the best possible level of functioning
-
to facilitate their recovery
The services to be provided are individualized to each person’s need for
rehabilitation as identified through a comprehensive assessment. The services
must fall within the federal definition of "rehabilitative services"
under CFR 440.130 (d) in order for the services to be reimbursed by Medicaid.
Wisconsin has long been a leader in the development of supportive services to
persons with mental health and substance abuse service needs who are living in
the community. With the development of Comprehensive Community Services (CCS),
Wisconsin is increasing access to supportive services for children, adolescents
and adults, including older adults with mental health or substance use
disorders. CCS programs will use a wraparound model that is flexible,
consumer directed, recovery oriented, strength and outcome based.
