What is behavioral health?
The term “behavioral health services” refers to services that treat and promote the health and recovery of people with mental health and substance use conditions. These services include the prevention and treatment of mental and substance use disorders like mental health conditions in adults, severe emotional disturbance in children, post-traumatic stress, and alcohol/drug addiction. Behavioral health services supported by state agencies can be delivered in many places, including local community clinics, schools, foster family homes, state hospitals, and jails.
