The Division of Mental Health and Substance Abuse (MHSA) is responsible for the administration of state and federally funded mental health and substance abuse treatment services throughout the Commonwealth.
The Division of Mental Health and Substance Abuse is a product of the merger of the Division of Substance Abuse and the Division of Mental Health in July 2004. With an increased focus on the treatment needs of individuals with co-occurring disorders (mental health and substance abuse) at the national, state and local levels, an anticipated outcome of the merger is a more integrated, seamless service system.
MHSA has established the three branches described below.
The Program Development Branch provides leadership for creating and planning program infrastructure based on assessment of need, best practices, and stakeholder participation.
The Program Support Branch provides expert support through training, consultation and customer relations. This includes services for providers within the Regional MH/MR Board network, including other affiliated and nonaffiliated contractors.
The Provider Services Branch provides administrative oversight and promotion of quality assurance with networks of service providers and contractors. The Provider Services Branch is responsible for the Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Program and the IMPACT Plus Program.
