Substance Abuse Treatment for Asian Youth (SATAY)
SATAY is a low intensive outpatient Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) treatment program which targets Asian children and adolescents age 18 and under with substance abuse issues that affect major areas of functioning. Individual and group counseling are provided in schools and at the clinic. This program provides timely intervention for the youngsters and their families to maintain or restore their optimal functioning in the community. The interventions include not only therapeutic services but also psycho-education, community outreach and case management service.
Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) Program
The EPSDT/School Based mental health services are specially designed for approximately 60-80 non-restricted, full scope Medi-Cal eligible children and the youth in Alameda County under the age of 21 with a DSM-IV diagnosis. Services include weekly individual therapy, family therapy, individual rehabilitation, case management and other collateral services. Medication and crisis intervention are provided as needed. The service will be delivered in local schools and at CHAA-Oakland to make the services as accessible as possible especially for those who are hard to reach due to language and cultural barriers, isolation and resistance to mental health care.
Adult Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS)
CHAA's mental health services specially designed for non-restricted, full scope Medi-Cal eligible adults in Alameda County who require the system of care services. Each individual will receive a psychosocial assessment, individual therapy, and psychiatric medication treatment (when needed). Services are delivered in the community where the service beneficiaries are, such as health clinics and community gathering places to make the services as accessible as possible especially for those who are hard to reach due to language and cultural barriers, isolation and resistance to mental health care.
California Work Opportunities and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs)
CalWORKs participants meeting welfare-to-work requirements may receive treatment for Mental Health. The aim of the CalWORKs Mental Health Program is to assure that recipients reduce and remove behavioral health barriers to employment. CHAA is committed to helping the client improve functioning in all domains: health, mental health, parenting, education and of course, employment. As such, we are interested in creating effective comprehensive treatment plans that address these various domains. Treatment is focused on addressing the barriers to employment including reduction in symptoms, improved sleep, improved concentration, and increased motivation. This is accomplished through accurate assessment, thorough treatment planning, regular individual and group therapy, case management, and ongoing collaboration with other service providers.
