The Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities (OACBHA) is a statewide organization that represents the interests of Ohio's county Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health (ADAMH) Boards. These boards are responsible for planning, developing, funding, managing, and evaluating community-based mental health and addiction services in Ohio. OACBHA provides leadership and serves as the unifying voice for local Recovery Oriented Systems of Care, which aim to provide comprehensive mental health and addiction prevention, treatment, and support services for all Ohioans.
OACBHA is committed to changing the conversation around mental illness and substance use disorders, promoting the message that treatment works and people can recover. They strive to create a culture of quality in behavioral health services and advocate for health equity. Through initiatives like the Mental Health Technology Transfer Center and the VISTA Project, OACBHA works to improve access to evidence-based practices and support recovery-oriented systems of care. With a focus on collaboration and education, OACBHA plays a vital role in advancing mental health and addiction services in Ohio.
