Nice -- if there exists a CSB that can afford these services. Unfunded mandate. I would add intensive case management, such as PACTs...(and I'm not a fan), and consumer governed and operated services.
PACT is not recovery oriented nor consumer driven as practiced in Virginia (or any state that I know of). It is also extremely expensive and if PACT was added there would be no money at all for basic outpatient services. We have to stop operating our CSB's as triage centers. We need to offer services to folks before they get to the point of qualifiying for a PACT program. Consumers want outpatient counseling/therapy in huge numbers as evidenced by the waiting lists at every CSB in the state that has outpatient counseling, that is consumer driven, not offering more PACT.
