24 Miss. Code. R. 2-54.24 - Program Requirement Four (4): Scope of Services - Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services

A. The CCBHC is responsible for providing directly, or through a DCO, evidence-based rehabilitation services for both mental health and substance use disorders. Rehabilitative services include services and recovery supports that help people develop skills and functioning to facilitate community living; support positive social, emotional, and educational development; facilitate inclusion and integration; and support pursuit of their goals in the community. These skills are important to addressing social determinants of health (Reference Source: For more information, refer to the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) State Health Official (SHO) Letter - Medicaid.) and navigating the complexity of finding housing or employment, filling out paperwork, securing identification documents, developing social networks, negotiating with property owners or property managers, paying bills, and interacting with neighbors or coworkers. Psychiatric rehabilitation services must include supported employment programs designed to provide those receiving services with on-going support to obtain and maintain competitive, integrated employment (e.g., evidence-based supported employment, customized employment programs, or employment supports run in coordination with the CCBHC). Targeted case management services are separate from and do not follow state targeted case management rules under the Medicaid state plan or waivers.

B. Vocational Rehabilitation or Career One-Stop services. Psychiatric rehabilitation services must also support people receiving services to:

1. Participate in supported education and other educational services;

2. Achieve social inclusion and community connectedness;

3. Participate in medication education, self-management, and/or individual and family/caregiver psychoeducation; and

4. Find and maintain safe and stable housing.

C. Other psychiatric rehabilitation services that might be considered include training in personal care skills; community integration services; cognitive remediation; facilitated engagement in substance use disorder mutual help groups and community supports; assistance for navigating healthcare systems; and other recovery support services including Illness Management and Recovery, financial management, and dietary and wellness education. These services may be provided or enhanced by peer providers. Note: Refer to the program requirement regarding coordination of services and treatment planning.
