About Our CCS Program  

Complex Care Services has been innovating clinical services in the behavioral health system since 2011. It is a whole family treatment and support model based on the science of applied behavior analysis (ABA). CCS is a graduation-based program that families participate in for 6 to 12 months. 75% of families who have participated in CCS have successfully graduated with behavioral and quality of life gains that maintain long after graduation.
