Comprehensive Community Services
Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) is a program that helps people of all ages live their best lives. It focuses on unique needs that relate to mental health and substance use.
Who is eligible
CCS is for people who have needs that, if ignored, could lead to being hospitalized in times of crisis.
The CCS screening process confirms who is eligible for the program. A tribal nation or county CCS provider completes the screening process.
