History

Established in 1997.

The concept of Signal Behavioral Health Network was created by the three original founding members: Addiction Research and Treatment Services (ARTS), Arapahoe House, and Crossroads’ Turning Points, Inc. By the time Signal was awarded the substance abuse contracts for SSPAs 1, 2 and 4 (in 1997), the Board consisted of the three founding members as well as Arapahoe/​Douglas Mental Health Network (ADMHN) and Denver Health. Several years later, the decision was made to add a sixth member, North Range Behavioral Health. Signal is a 501©(3) charitable organization.
