Community Support Program (CSP)

Community Support Program (CSP) provide an array of services delivered by community-based, mobile, paraprofessional staff, supported by a clinical supervisor, to Members with psychiatric or substance use disorder diagnoses, and/or to Members for whom their psychiatric or substance use disorder diagnoses interfere with their ability to access essential medical services. These programs provide support services that are necessary to ensure Members access and utilize behavioral health services. CSPs do not provide clinical treatment services, but rather provide outreach and support services to enable Members to utilize clinical treatment services and other supports. The CSP service plan assists the Member with attaining his/her goals in his/her clinical treatment plan in outpatient services and/or other levels of care, and works to mitigate barriers to doing so.

These services are designed to be maximally flexible in supporting individuals to implement their clinical. treatment plans in outpatient and/or other levels of care and attain the skills and resources needed to maintain community tenure.
