Senate Bill 755 (2021) established  Behavioral Health Resource Networks (BHRNs).

  • BHRNs must bill the individual's insurance if available.

Each BHRN must provide trauma-informed, culturally specific and linguistically responsive services. Services include but are not limited to:

  • Individualized intervention planning,

  • Low-barrier substance use disorder treatment,

  • Harm reduction services,
