Ohio has been working to improve access to mental health care services. The state has a network of community mental health centers, private therapists and counselors, and crisis hotlines. Efforts have been made to increase access through telehealth services, particularly in underserved areas. Additionally, Ohio has expanded Medicaid coverage to include mental health services.
Ohio offers various mental health resources to its residents. The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services provides information and resources on mental health services and programs. Local community mental health centers, nonprofit organizations, and advocacy groups such as NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Ohio offer support, education, and resources.
Substance use disorders often co-occur with mental health conditions. Ohio has been addressing substance abuse issues, including opioids, through prevention, treatment, and recovery support services.
