Currently in Ohio, there are thousands of individuals with mental health issues and/or drug and alcohol addiction in need of vocational rehabilitation services to help them move towards recovery and work readiness. This has resulted in a need for a multi-systemic approach to preparing these individuals for employment.  The Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission (RSC), the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services (ODADAS), the Ohio Department of Mental Health (ODMH), and the Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities (OACBHA) have conceived and are developing a project that will establish a statewide program allowing Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health (ADAMH) Boards to contract with local agencies to provide vocational rehabilitation and treatment services to eligible consumers with a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) diagnosis.
