Building a Behavioral Health and Chemical Dependency Clinical Institute

The Challenge:
The client is one of several acute care hospitals belonging to a larger organization in California and the
only one of the group that manages the full continuum of mental health and chemical addiction treatment,
including an LPS-designated behavioral health inpatient unit, inpatient detox, partial hospitalization
and intensive outpatient programs for mental health and chemical dependency, and an eating disorder
outpatient counseling program. Complicated by operational challenges of running multiple campuses,
the client is endeavoring to build a behavioral health and chemical dependency clinical institute within the
organization; at the same time, the parent organization is looking to standardize the behavioral health
service line across facilities throughout the region.
