CPLC Chicanos Por La Causa Centro Esperanza

Chicanos por la Cause (CLPC) is an organization that’s been dedicated to uplifting underserved communities for almost 60 years. They accomplish this through activism, advocacy, and by providing critical services at centers like the Centro Esperanza in Mesa, Arizona.

From this location, they provide members of the surrounding communities with behavioral health services that include help with addiction and serious mental illness.

Providing Specialized Psychiatric Help and Further Support

Since they focus on helping individuals with serious mental illnesses live fulfilling lives, many of their services deal with giving the ongoing support that members of this population often need.

One way in which they offer support is through case management, which helps to coordinate the care and treatment received when someone sees multiple providers. A case manager can also help each client with applications to services like education, housing, and food programs.

They also offer psychiatric help for each client’s diagnoses mental illness. Because their psychiatrists are qualified to deal with a wide range of mental health concerns, they can administer interventions and offer guidance to help with substance use problems as well.

Able to Connect You With Inpatient Treatment

If a client’s struggles with substances have escalated to the point where they need inpatient treatment, CLPC can refer them to their residential center nearby. This center offers clients a structured program that’ll take them through residential treatment and a transitional sober living home.
