The Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities (OACBHA) is a statewide organization that represents Ohio’s county Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Boards at the state level. It collaborates with state agencies and other governmental bodies to support initiatives aimed at expanding and improving mental health and substance use prevention, treatment, and support services, while providing a unified forum for boards to communicate their positions and concerns. Based in Columbus, Ohio, the association serves the network of 50 ADAMH boards, which are responsible for planning, funding, managing, and evaluating community-based behavioral health services across the state. These boards rely on a mix of federal, state, and local funding, including local levies, to ensure services are accessible to those in need, regardless of their ability to pay. A recent development noted is the foundation’s partnership with state agencies to host Ohio’s 2023 Opiate and Other Drugs Conference, reflecting ongoing collaboration on critical behavioral health priorities.
