The Idaho Behavioral Health Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for operating state-certified agencies delivering behavioral health services to individuals with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or co-occurring disorders in Idaho. This manual aligns with the Idaho Administrative Code (IDAPA 16.03.10), Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver requirements, and federal regulations under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) guidelines. It ensures compliance with state and federal standards for the provision of behavioral health care in home, community, and clinical settings.
The manual is designed to guide agencies in delivering evidence-based services that promote recovery, resilience, and overall mental well-being. It establishes policies for service delivery, agency certification, staff qualifications, participant rights, and quality assurance.
