FY2017 ANNUAL REPORT
1 OUR MISSION The mission of the Medina County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health (ADAMH) Board is to assure the availability of high quality alcohol, drug addiction and mental health services to all Medina County residents through planning (assessing needs and resources, and determining priorities); purchasing cost effective services to the extent resources are available; coordinating services; and evaluating these services. OUR ROLE The Medina County ADAMH Board s Board of Directors is a public body made up of county citizens who are appointed to the Board by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and the County Commissioners. The Board consists of up to 14 members. The ADAMH Board provides oversight and direction to multi-faceted, behavioral healthcare community programs and services. The ADAMH Board s providers offer treatment, prevention and education. To do this, the ADAMH Board identifies needs, funds, monitors, and evaluates mental health and substance abuse services. These services are available to all citizens of Medina County, regardless of their ability to pay. With information provided by the community and agencies, the ADAMH Board determines the direction of mental health and substance abuse services and contracts for these services through private, non-profit service providers. The ADAMH Board provides full or partial funding to these agencies from federal, state and local funds. SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE NETWORK Our network of providers is a group of community agencies dedicated to providing effective, coordinated and affordable mental health and alcohol and drug addiction treatment to residents of Medina County. Each year, services help literally thousands of people troubled by mental illness, emotional problems and addictions. The agencies provide services for children, teens, adults, older adults and families. PAYMENT FOR SERVICES The charge for services at the ADAMH Board s primary agencies is based on how much an individual or family can afford to pay, based on the family income. Payment arrangements are worked out with the contract agency when services begin. The Medina County ADAMH Board utilizes public funds to share in the cost of services when clients, who are Medina County residents, are unable to afford full payment. Payment is also accepted from insurance, Medicaid, Medicare and other sources. Individuals are offered the opportunity to enroll in the Board s Sliding Fee for Service plan to ensure that all services offered locally are available to them. No one is turned away because of the inability to pay.
