Project Will Provide Behavioral Health Treatment to 3,258 Individuals Each Year
The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and JWCH Institute (John Wesley County Hospital) today broke ground on an adult residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment facility and wellness center in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles. This new campus will provide critical mental health and SUD treatment services to unhoused adults with SUD and individuals experiencing mental health issues.
The project will include a two-story building dedicated to behavioral health treatment. The first floor will add a community wellness center to serve 3,258 individuals each year in an outpatient setting. The second story will include an adult residential SUD treatment facility that will expand capacity by 38 beds within an integrated medical campus that offers a range of care. Of the 38 beds, 10 will be dedicated to SUD treatment with incidental medical services.
