Program Overview
CORE is a home and community-based rehabilitative service for adults (age 21 and older) with a history of serious mental illness (SMI) and/or substance use disorders. Our recovery-oriented approach focuses on empowerment, helping individuals improve their quality of life, strengthen new skills, and achieve their personal goals, such as finding employment, pursuing education, or preventing relapse.
Getting Started:
CORE Services has a “No Wrong Door Pathway” referral process. This means that anyone can refer to the program including mental health professionals, doctors, nurses, care managers, family, and friends. Self-referrals are accepted as well! If individuals qualify for services and wish to apply, they must complete this referral form and email it to our team at core@bhsn.org.
If you or someone you know has Managed Medicaid and you are not sure about the HARP plan, you can send an email to core@bhsn.org and we can provide you with the information.
