Stakeholder Recommendations for Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Services

The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) partnered with the California Institute for Mental Health (CiMH) and the Alcohol and Drug Policy Institute (ADPI) to obtain stakeholder input for addressing mental health and substance use disorder services.  CiMH and ADPI have completed the process to engage stakeholders and provided the attached report titled “Stakeholder Recommendations for Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Services.”   (Note: We have previously referred to this end product as a “business plan”.)

DHCS is also posting a letter to accompany this report.  The letter is jointly signed by DHCS, the California Mental Health Directors Association (CMHDA) and the County Alcohol and Drug Program Administrators Association of California (CADPAAC) and describes the joint commitment to work together to review, prioritize and implement stakeholder recommendations where feasible and appropriate.

This is the previous version of what is now called the Stakeholder Recommendations for Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Services Report.
