Commission approves Bear River behavioral health integration plan; county cost estimated at $74,000 in 2027
Summary
Bear River Health Department presented a plan to integrate mental health and substance abuse services under a capitated model and one point of entry; the county’s share of the cost was estimated at $74,000 beginning in 2027 and the Commission approved the plan.
Jordan Mathis, director of the Bear River Health Department, proposed a Behavioral Health Integration Plan that would move mental health and substance abuse treatment toward a single, capitated model overseen by Bear River Mental Health. Mathis said the model would create "one point of entry for individuals seeking services and one point of entry for attorneys, law enforcement, correctional facilities, and other providers." He told commissioners that the county portion of the cost "would be $74,000 beginning in 2027," based on population.
