In 2020, the Washington State Legislature mandated the creation of Behavioral Health Administrative Services Organizations to oversee the delivery of the Behavioral Health Crisis Services and other state funded non-Medicaid Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder services in Washington State.  The State of Washington contracts with the Great Rivers Behavioral Health Administrative Services Organization to provide Behavioral Health Crisis Services and other state-funded non-Medicaid behavioral health services in the 5 county Region. Great Rivers BH-ASO assures access to all residents within Great Rivers' communities to 24-hour/7-days-a-week coverage of crisis services. As funding permits the BH-ASO is responsible for providing all Medically Necessary behavioral health (mental health and substance use disorder) to non-Medicaid individuals.  ####Great Rivers is committed to these goals:  -  Assure timely access to medically-necessary behavioral health services.  -   Foster coordination of behavioral health services with other county and community services.  -   Create a regional system of care to expand access to specialized behavioral health services.
