Centerstone reports growth after CCBHC certification; recovery housing planned for Jackson County
Summary
Centerstone officials told commissioners they served about 1,100 Jackson County clients last fiscal year, provided roughly 54,828 services countywide, and are pursuing local recovery housing with a target opening this July.
Brittany Drawbaugh, manager of the local Centerstone office, told the board April 1 that Centerstone served about 1,100 Jackson County residents in the last fiscal year and delivered approximately 54,828 services overall. She said Centerstone became a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic on Jan. 1, which has supported staff growth and expanded services under a four‑year pilot program.
Drawbaugh reported 94 Jackson County residents used a 28‑day residential substance‑use inpatient bed in the prior 12 months and identified methamphetamine, opioids and alcohol as the highest drugs of choice reported. She said plans are underway to open a local recovery house (targeted for July), but staff are still attempting to identify a suitable property to purchase. Alissa Williams, program manager for the HRSA Rural Communities Opioid Response grant, said the program will hire a therapist for Jackson‑Jennings Community Corrections and three impact coaches (peers) to support recovery services.
