Continuum of Care
The Division of Behavioral Health has a commitment to improving the quality of life of Alaskans through the right service to the right person at the right time. The central purpose of the division is to provide a continuum of statewide behavioral health services (mental health and substance use) ranging from prevention and screening to brief intervention and acute psychiatric care.
1115 Waiver Demonstration Project
March 2019 - Alaska’s 1115 Medicaid waiver, the Alaska Substance Use Disorder and Behavioral Health Program, was approved in November 2018, with the implementation plan receiving approval in March 2019. The waiver provides greater flexibility to offer a broader range of services to fill existing service gaps and reduce Alaska’s reliance on crisis services. Visit the
1115 Behavioral Health Medicaid Waiver page for more information.
