Abstract:

XDS, Inc. in Pittsboro is a nonprofit mental health and developmental disabilities service provider for over 130 customers. XDS provides long-term care for patients with dual-diagnoses that often fall through the cracks in the medical system. Despite the myriad of services that XDS provides, the state's shift to Critical Access Behavioral Health Agencies, this organization was in fear of being shut down. Now approved as a CABHA, XDS merged with the UNC Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health to provide a continuum of care.
