The Georgia Behavioral Health Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for agencies delivering behavioral health services to individuals with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders in Georgia. This manual aligns with the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) standards, Medicaid Behavioral Health Provider Manuals, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), and other applicable state and federal regulations to ensure compliance with service delivery, documentation, and quality assurance requirements. The manual includes policies on eligibility determination, clinical assessments, individualized treatment planning, evidence-based interventions, crisis management, medication management, client rights, staff qualifications and training, safety protocols, emergency preparedness, documentation standards, and program evaluation. It emphasizes person-centered care principles to support individuals in achieving recovery goals, improving mental health outcomes, and fostering resilience. Additionally, it ensures compliance with Medicaid waiver programs such as the NOW/COMP waivers for individuals with co occurring developmental disabilities. This policy manual serves as a critical resource for agencies to deliver high-quality behavioral health services that promote recovery, independence, and community integration.
