Substance Use Screenings
Consider how to add requirements when the only service is TCM and someone is not receiving an annual DA and screen. I can provide you with a guidance document that will be added to MHCP manual.
Who should screen
- Targeted case managers*
- Mental Health Professionals completing a diagnostic assessment
- Mental Health Practitioners who are clinical trainees completing a diagnostic assessment under supervision
Also be aware that in chemical health settings, it is required that a screening for mental health symptoms and/or concerns be completed!
* For the individual who is receiving only adult MH-TCM, the case management provider agency should complete the annual substance use screening if a DA is not available in years two and three. (Adult MH-TCM requires a new DA at least every three years for eligibility determination.)
