Lakeshore Regional Entity (LRE) adopts and makes available Clinical Practice guidelines (CPGs) for the provision of acute and long-term care services that are relevant to the targeted populations served. CPGs will be promulgated by the LRE for individuals and families served by the Member CMHSPs and contracted providers, including those receiving substance use disorder services. CPGs and assessment tools will include those attachments to the contract between the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and the LRE, and will be adopted or developed by the LRE based on the requirement outlined in the Balanced Budget Act, assuring that CPGs “are based on valid and reliable clinical evidence or a consensus of health care professional in the particular field, consider the needs of the enrollees, are adopted in consultation with contracting health care professionals, and are reviewed and updated periodically as appropriate.” 

Lakeshore Regional Entity endorses CPGs that have been adopted by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
