WHAT IS CCS?

Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) is a program for individuals of all ages who need ongoing services for a mental illness, substance abuse disorder, or a dual diagnosis beyond occasional outpatient care, but less than the intensive care provided in an inpatient setting.  The individual works with a dedicated team of service providers to develop a treatment and recovery plan to meet the individual's unique needs and goals.  The goal of this community-based approach is to promote better overall health and life satisfaction for the individual.  The LCO CCS program provides services to Lac Courte Oreilles tribal members within Sawyer County.  Services are covered by Medical Assistance.  Services are not time limited.  It is the vision of LCO CCS to support participants to achieve maximum independence.  

CCS SERVICES

CCS is built around proven treatment and support methods.  The programs offered through CCS are designed to promote and support recovery by stabilizing and addressing an individual's critical mental health and substance use concerns, including an individual's ability to self-manage their physical and social health; and an individual's ability to meet their basic needs, including housing, education and employment skills.  

In CCS, the individual taks control of their treatment and recovery.  Programming is provided by a variety of people and may include: 

• Case Management:  Coordinating and monitoring services to ensure the individual receives timely and appropriate care. 
• Communication Skills Training:  Developing interpersonal skills, conflict resolution, and assertiveness 
• Community Skills Development and Enhancement:  Development independent living skills
