CalMHSA has updated its Clinical Documentation Guides for Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) and Substance Use Disorder Services (SUD) to better serve counties.
The four previous guides have been streamlined into two comprehensive, updated documents—one for SMHS and one for SUD.
These updated guides:
Align with current state documentation requirements
Simplify and clarify expectations
Support consistent, high-quality clinical documentation
