What Is Comprehensive Community Services (CCS)?

A county behavioral-health program that supports recovery and daily living — who CCS is for and how it works.

Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) is a Wisconsin Medicaid behavioral-health program, offered under contract with Milwaukee County, that supports people living with mental-health and substance-use conditions. Our division, MHH CCS Ancillary, provides these services close to home.

What CCS is

CCS is a recovery-focused program built around the whole person. It's guided by four dimensions of wellness — home, health, purpose, and community — and care is directed by the person themselves, alongside a supportive team. The goal is stability, skills, and a life that feels meaningful.

Who CCS is for

CCS may be a fit for adults and youth who are living with a mental-health or substance-use condition and could benefit from ongoing, coordinated support to manage daily life and work toward recovery goals.

What CCS can include

  • Individual skill development and enhancement — building everyday coping and living skills
  • Peer support — connection with others who understand the recovery journey
  • Physical health monitoring and medication management support
  • Coordination that ties the pieces of care together
