Crusader Community Health utilizes an integrated model, allowing patients to receive behavioral health services within the primary care setting at their preferred clinic location. These services are provided in collaboration with primary care services and are available for established child, adolescent, and adult patients. The integrated model provides coordinated and collaborative care; promotes early identification, intervention, and treatment; raises awareness; and improves access and engagement while decreasing barriers to treatment and services.
Behavioral health providers and consultants provide assessment, diagnosis, therapy, counseling, psychoeducation, and treatment recommendations.
Our behavioral health staff can provide an assessment to determine the appropriate services and level of care for a patient. For patients in need of substance use counseling, a higher level of care, or a service that Crusader does not provide, we will provide resources and/or referrals to the community providers who can best meet those treatment needs.
Crusader offers medication for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder, with primary care providers prescribing FDA-approved medications including Buprenorphine (Suboxone), Naltrexone, or Vivitrol.
Behavioral health case managers provide support and work with patients and their families to identify needs, eliminate barriers to health care, and improve access to the resources necessary to meet those needs.
Psychiatric services are provided by a psychiatrist or psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner via telehealth, and in full collaboration with Crusader medical and behavioral health staff.
Crusader Community Health is funded, in part, by the Winnebago County Community Mental Health Board and a voter approved half-cent sales tax. Learn more.
