What Is CIACC?
The Ocean County CIACC serves as a mechanism to...
...through a partnership of parents, consumers, government, community-based organizations and service providers.
The ultimate goal of the CIACC's activities is to oversee mental and behavioral health services available to children and families to ensure that the appropriate and least restrictive level of care is obtained and that a comprehensive system of needed services within the County is maintained.
This preserves the integrity of treatment and saves public funds through diverting unnecessary out-of-home placements.
