Overview guides available for substance-use disorders, depression, and suicide

September 1, 2011

[

IBC and Magellan Behavioral Health, Inc. provide Substance-Use Disorders Identification Overview and Depression/Suicide Overview guides to all network providers. These guides are double-sided charts that include information on substance-use disorders and pharmacotherapy for substance-use disorders, depression treatment, and assessing and managing suicidal patients.

Each guide also provides resources that support clinical practices consistent with nationally recognized standards of care. We developed these guides in collaboration with Magellan Behavioral Health, Inc., and they are consistent with our clinical practice guidelines.

Download the guides from our website at www.ibx.com/providers/resources/worksheets or call the Provider Supply Line at 1-800-858-4728.
