Substance Use Disorder Services - Provider Application

Denton County MHMR Center is conducting a Request for Application (RFA) for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment and behavioral health services, seeking qualified providers to expand community-based treatment options. The procurement focuses on multiple service categories including inpatient detoxification, residential rehabilitation, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), intensive outpatient programming (IOP), recovery peer support, and case management. Target populations include individuals below 200% of federal poverty level, those experiencing homelessness, high-risk overdose individuals, and pregnant women with SUD. Providers may apply for adult inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation, youth inpatient services, or specialized female services. Applicants must be registered with the Texas Secretary of State, possess a Tax Identification Number, maintain Joint Commission certification, and hold appropriate health facility licensure. The open enrollment process began in October 2025, with electronic submissions accepted at contractsubmission@dentonmhmr.org, though no specific application deadline was stated in the document. Evaluation will likely involve assessing licensure, accreditation, service capability, and compliance with background clearance requirements.

Reimbursement for services will be structured on a negotiated daily per diem basis, with rates ranging from $120.72 to $238.75 per day depending on service type and population served. Specific rates include $120.72 for adult residential intensive services, $237.01 for adult detoxification, $238.75 for specialized female detoxification, and $197.04 for youth residential intensive services. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, the procurement appears designed to encourage diverse provider participation across different SUD treatment modalities. The Center, governed by the Denton County Commissioners Court board of directors, will utilize funding from multiple sources to support these services. The procurement allows providers to apply for one or multiple service categories, offering flexibility in participation. The Center reserves the right to reject applications not meeting submission requirements, modify service descriptions, or cancel the procurement at any time. Funding appears to be primarily derived from governmental sources managed by the local mental health and intellectual/developmental disability authority.
