Contra Costa County will construct three new mental health and recovery centers in Pittsburg, Oakley, and Pleasant Hill, funded by a $98 million grant as part of California's Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program. The centers will offer various services, including residential treatment and outpatient behavioral healthcare. Dr. Suzanne Tavano emphasized the critical need for these services which aim to improve mental healthcare access for residents locally. This initiative reflects a larger $3.3 billion state commitment to enhance behavioral health infrastructure across California, following the approval of Proposition 1 in March 2024.
According to Contra Costa Health, the funding was provided through California's Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program, a multi-year initiative to improve behavioral health care infrastructure.
Dr. Suzanne Tavano stated, âThe addition of these facilities will expand access to essential care to better support people who are in need of and would benefit from the mental health treatment.
