• The Behavioral Health System connects you to Adult, Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Substance Abuse services. • Everyone who is on Medical Assistance (MA) in Philadelphia must use the Behavioral Health System to get his or her Mental Health and Substance Abuse services. • To be connected to the Mental Health or Substance Abuse services you need, you must go through an agency called Community Behavioral Health, or CBH. • Through CBH, you can find the service you need, get approval for treatment and help with appointments, transportation and emergencies. • Although you will receive your Mental Health and Substance Abuse services through CBH, you will still get your medical services through your HMO. • You can also access these services through the Federally Qualified Health Centers, at any of their Philadelphia locations.
