SBH has established behavioral health screening programs to assist providers and practitioners in determining the likelihood that a member has a coexisting substance use and mental health disorder. These screening tools are based on evidence from research studies that have been shown to be effective in the detection of positive screening for behavioral health symptoms and can be used as part of the general assessment of a member to determine if further evaluation is needed for formal diagnostic identification and treatment planning.

As members of the SBH network, providers and practitioners may select one or more of the screening instruments to add to their existing array of tools. SBH distributes information on the screening programs to practitioners and providers at least every two years by updates to the provider manual, email and on its website. SBH welcomes feedback from providers about other screening tools they use in their current treatment setting. Feedback and recommendations will be taken into consideration for future features/highlights on our website. Feedback or recommendations may be sent to info@sbhslasvegas.com.
