County approves contract with Bridge Behavioral Health for chemical-dependency evaluations
Summary
The board approved a contract (not to exceed $43,000) with Bridge Behavioral Health to provide chemical-dependency evaluations at the Lancaster County Crisis Center; Scott Etheton said the arrangement continues long-standing services at similar rates and enables on-site evaluation capacity.
Lancaster County commissioners approved an agreement with Bridge Behavioral Health to provide chemical-dependency evaluations at the county's crisis center, with a not-to-exceed amount recorded in the agenda as $43,000.
Scott Etheton of the Mental Health Crisis Center told commissioners the county has contracted for substance-use evaluations for roughly 15 years and that partnering with Bridge Behavioral Health will allow evaluations to be conducted on-site, at similar rates. "Historically we've done them with individuals directly. This is just the same thing, pretty much the same rates," Etheton said, and added that the provider "is in the neighborhood" and can come over as needed.
The board approved the agreement by roll call. The contract is intended to maintain evaluation capacity at the crisis center and to ensure timely clinical assessments for individuals who present for services.
