Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 15 - Mississippi Department of Health › Part 8 - Office of Health Policy and Planning › Subpart 90 - Planning and Resource Development › Chapter 03 - Mental Health › Section 15-8-90-03-305 - Alcohol and Substance Abuse Disorder Services › Section 15-8-90-03-305.01 - Alcohol and Substance Abuse Disorders

Current through June 25, 2024
Alcohol and other drug problems cause pervasive effects:
						biological, psychological, and social consequences for the user; psychological
						and social effects on family members and others; increased risk of injury and
						death to self, family members, and others (especially by accidents, fires, or
						violence); and derivative social and economic consequences for society at
						large.
The location of facilities with alcohol and substance use
						programs is shown on Maps 3-4 and 3-5. Each of the fourteen (14) regional
						community health centers provide a variety of alcohol and drug services,
						including residential and transitional treatment programs, along with recovery
						support services. Tables 3-4 and 3-5 show the utilization of these facilities
						for adult and adolescent chemical dependency services, respectively. The
						community mental health centers (CMHCs) with whom DMH contracts are the
						foundation and primary service providers of the public substance use disorders
						services delivery system. Each CMHC serves a designated number of Mississippi
						counties. There are sixty-seven (67) community-based satellite centers
						throughout the state which allow greater access to services by the area's
						residents. The goal is for each CMHC to have a full range of treatment options
						available for citizens in its region. Other nonprofit service
						agencies/organizations, which make up a smaller part of the service system,
						also receive funding through the DMH to provide community-based services. Many
						of these free-standing nonprofit organizations receive additional funding from
						other sources such as grants from other state agencies, community service
						organizations, donations, etc.
Substance use disorder services usually include:
(1) alcohol, tobacco, and other drug
					 prevention services;

(7) emergency services (including a 24-hour
					 hotline);
(8) educational programs
					 targeting recovery from substance use disorders which include understanding the
					 disease, the recovery process, relapse prevention, and anger
					 management;
(9) recreational and
					 social activities presenting alternatives to continued substance use and
					 emphasizing the positive aspects of recovery;
(10) 10-15 week intensive outpatient
					 treatment programs for individuals who are in need of treatment but are still
					 able to maintain job or school responsibilities;
(11) community-based residential substance
					 use disorders treatment for adolescents;
(12) specialized women's services;
(13) priority treatment for
					 pregnant/parenting women;

					 services for individuals with a co-occurring disorder of substance use disorder
					 and serious mental illness; and,
