Recovery management services

Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) — Adult Mental Health is a Medicaid waiver program that provides services to adults with serious mental illness (SMI). The program provides an array of services to meet each person’s needs; helps the person to live and achieve success in their chosen community; and has services designed to support long-term recovery from mental illness.

Through this program, we offer Recovery Management Services that helps each person plan their recovery. This includes helping the person get services in this program and finding other tools, as well as community services. Our Recovery Managers will also help the person solve problems and make good choices to keep him or her in their community of choice and prevent time in hospital emergency rooms, jails, and crisis centers.
