Integrated Behavioral Health and Primary Care

Home

The Department is currently revising the rules to integrate behavioral health into health care institutions. Check out the Health Care Institution Integration Rules page for more information.

We all need to take care of both our physical health needs and our behavioral health needs. In order to address all physical health and behavioral health care needs, integration of physical and behavioral health services include coordination and collaboration between all physical health and behavioral health providers to develop a common treatment plan leading to whole body positive health outcomes. The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) promotes integrated care and is collaborating with other stakeholders to expand integration efforts to provide whole body health care for all Arizonans.
