On October 7, 2016, the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) issued MHSUDS Information Notice No. 16-051 which directed providers of Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders services to implement the use of DSM-5 within their clinical documentation by April 1 2017.
Accordingly, Contra Costa County Alcohol and Other Drug Services have revised the following forms to show that the DSM-5 diagnosis code and the corresponding ICD-10 code are documented for Alcohol and Other Drug System of Care treatment providers.
