Welcome
The Bureau of Specialty Behavioral Health Services carries out responsibilities specified in the Michigan Mental Health Code, and federally approved Medicaid State Plan, §1115 Behavioral Health Demonstration, a 1915 (i) state plan and a Behavioral Health §1915(c) waiver. The Bureau also administers federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment as well as Community Mental Health Services Block Grants. Specialty Behavioral Health Services include those for people with developmental disabilities, mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, and substance use disorders. Services and supports are primarily covered by Medicaid and delivered through Prepaid Inpatient Health Plans (PIHPs). Each PIHP region is required to have an extensive array of services that allows for maximizing consumer choice and control. Services are delivered through county-based Community Mental Health Services Programs (CMHSP) as well as other contracted network providers.
