Register for Upcoming Direct Access Presentations

The Behavioral Health Division (BHD) will be providing a high level overview of the new direct access process and how partners and providers can prepare for implementation. Each session covers the same material and is useful for individuals and programs that assist clients in seeking substance use disorder services. Successful implementation of direct access requires an understanding of the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Normative Evaluation System (DAANES). To further support providers around direct access, BHD will be hosting additional training sessions on DAANES system changes and how to utilize DAANES in the new process.
