Covered Services

With the passage of Senate Bill 2048 during the 64th Legislative Session the Department of Human Services (DHS) was appropriated funding to administer a voucher system to pay for substance use disorder treatment services. The Department’s Behavioral Health Division (BHD) was assigned the responsibility to develop administrative rules and implement the voucher system.

The SUD Voucher supports eligible individuals in their personal recovery by reducing financial barriers in accessing substance use disorder treatment and recovery services.
