If your child needs mental health or substance use disorder treatment services, he or she can see a provider that is part of our behavioral health network. Your child does not need a referral to see a doctor. You can pick or change your child’s behavioral health provider at any time. Some behavioral health providers can give your child primary medical care.

Your child may self-refer directly to the Community Mental Health Centers and Alcohol/Drug Treatment Centers, located in or adjacent to each county, which provide behavioral health services.
