Created
in 1986, the Arizona Department of Health Services/Division of Behavioral
Health Services (ADHS/DBHS) serves as the single state authority to provide
coordination, planning, administration, regulation and monitoring of all
facets of the state public behavioral health system.
ADHS/DBHS contracts with community based organizations, known as
Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs), to administer behavioral
health services throughout the State. RBHAs function in a fashion similar
to a health maintenance organization.
The RBHAs
RBHAs contract with a network of service providers to deliver a full
range of behavioral health care services, including prevention programs for
adults and children, a full continuum of services for adults with substance
abuse and general mental health disorders, adults with serious mental
illness, and children with serious emotional disturbance.
The State is divided into six geographical service areas (GSAs) served
by four Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs).
Magellan serves Maricopa County.
Community Partnership of Southern
Arizona (CPSA) serves Pima, Graham, Greenlee, Santa Cruz & Cochise
Counties.
Northern Arizona Behavioral Health
Authority (NARBHA) serves Mohave, Coconino, Apache, Navajo, and Yavapai Counties.
Cenpatico Behavioral Health of Arizona
serves Pinal, Gila, Yuma and La Paz Counties.
The Tribal RBHAs (TRBHAs)
In addition to RBHAs, ADHS/DBHS has Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs)
with some of Arizona’s
American Indian Tribes to deliver behavioral health services to persons
living on the reservation. ADHS/DBHS currently has IGAs with five
Arizona Indian Tribes to provide covered behavioral health services for
American Indians on reservations.
Gila River Indian Community,
Navajo Nation, Pascua Yaqui Tribe
and the White
Mountain Apache Tribe of Arizona each have an IGA for both Title XIX
(Medicaid) and State Subvention Services. Colorado
River Indian Tribe has an IGA for State Subvention Services. Services
to other Native American Indian Tribes are provided and covered by the
local RBHA in which the tribal reservation resides.
