Local Behavioral Health Authority also known as CSA Core Service Agency LBHA
By Behavioral Health and Crisis Services, DHHS
By Behavioral Health and Crisis Services, DHHS
Mission: To advance and promote behavioral health and accessible, equitable, quality behavioral health services in Montgomery County.
As the State-mandated Local Behavioral Health Authority (LBHA), this program is responsible for the planning, management, and oversight of public behavioral health services for children and youth with serious social, emotional, and behavioral health challenges, as well as adults and older adults living with behavioral health needs. Functions include developing and managing a full range of treatment and rehabilitation services for individuals with co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders. The LBHA manages federal, state, and county funded contracts and is tasked with ensuring quality and compliance of behavioral health services across the lifespan. The LBHA is the primary point of contact for community providers who serve Montgomery County residents in need of behavioral health treatment and support, such as case management services, residential rehabilitation, psychiatric rehabilitation, assertive community treatment, crisis services and more. Prioritizing collaboration with community stakeholders, the LBHA convenes Provider Councils and service-specific committees to network, plan, and troubleshoot systemic gaps that unduly affect our residents.
LBHA services include the ongoing development of a resiliency and recovery-oriented continuum of services that provide for consumer choice and empowerment, including a team dedicated to behavioral health prevention efforts within the jurisdiction. Substance Use and Suicide Prevention staff work to reduce alcohol and other drug use and misuse and bring awareness of suicide in Montgomery County. Programming is evidence-based and available for all ages across the lifespan. All efforts utilize the principles of harm reduction, which is grounded in justice and human rights and focuses on minimizing negative health, social, and legal impacts associated with drug use, drug polices, and drug laws.
