*MCVP – MT DPHHS Behavioral Healthcare VISTA
 
 
 
The goal of this project is to increase access to healthcare for Montanans experiencing substance use disorder or serious mental illness. The state of Montana has a high rate of substance use and mental health concerns. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services administration reports that there is an estimated range of 48,000 to 63,000 adults in Montana who live with Serious Mental Illness. In 2020, the Montana Healthcare Foundation reported that there was a 28% increase in the use of behavioral health services through Medicaid. Montana also has one of the highest substance use disorder rates in the country. The Healing and Ending Addiction through Recovery and Treatment (HEART) Initiative is an effort to broaden the scope of behavioral health services offered to Montanans and addressing gaps in the continuum of care. The VISTA project will move individuals with mental health and substance use disorders out of poverty by strengthening the behavioral health care system resulting in coordination and collaboration on expanding services within the HEART Initiative. Located in Helena MT!
