What is Integrated Behavioral Health Care?
Integrated behavioral health care is like a one-stop-shop for your body and mind. Since behavioral health conditions often affect medical illnesses, we will talk to you about your needs regarding stress, addiction, or depression and anxiety while you’re at the clinic.
Integrated behavioral health care is a part of whole-person care. It is a core function of the advanced patient-centered medical home — which is what NHA is. Integrated behavioral health care means better care and health for the whole person. Together, we can:
- decrease depression
- improve quality of life
- reduce stress
- lower rates of hospitalization
- control chronic conditions
What does behavioral health mean?
Behavioral health covers several situations that affect your overall health. Behavioral health includes life stressors and crisis, stress-related physical symptoms, mental health and substance abuse conditions, and health behaviors.
What you need to know about behavioral health:
- Behavioral health conditions are common. People of all ages, genders, races, and ethnicities experience these conditions.
- Chronic pain is also often accompanied by feelings of hopelessness, depression, and anxiety.
- Behavioral health is a key part of a person’s overall health. It is just as important as physical health. It includes your emotional, psychological, and social well-being.
What to Expect at one of our Integrated Behavioral Health Care Clinics
Our on-site behavioral health team consists of highly skilled and trained clinicians, social workers, counselors, and trainees who can offer many services. We use person-centered, strengths-based approaches to assess your needs. If you have changes in your mood or behavior or your alcohol or drug use causes problems, please talk to us. We’re here to help, not judge. We will start the discussion about your needs and how we can address them to make you feel better.
NHA community health centers accept most insurance, including Medicaid and Medicare. Health care assistance on a sliding fee scale is available for those who are underinsured or uninsured.
Do I need to schedule a separate visit?
Our team approach is structured to address all your concerns. Someone may ask you about your level of stress or check with any changes in your mood, sleep, or behavior.
If you’re experiencing any symptoms of depression or anxiety, drug or alcohol use, smoking or overeating, we want you to feel comfortable sharing your challenges with us. Because the medical and behavioral health teams work together, a member of our behavioral health team will see you during your medical visit.
We are LGBTQ+ affirming providers.
Is there a charge for Behavioral Health Care services?
All services at NHA have a fee associated with them. However, we offer services based on your eligibility and our sliding fee scale. Behavioral health services are covered on almost all commercial insurance plans, as well as Medicaid and Medicare.
The Neighborhood Health Association takes a wholistic approach to health care. We believe that helping individuals includes connecting them to all the resources they need—medical and non-medical.
