Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services

The Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), located at 410 Capitol Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut, provides an extensive network of coordinated services designed to support individuals with mental health needs, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions. Through its Behavioral Health Home model, DMHAS integrates primary care, mental health care, and social support services to ensure clients receive whole-person treatment. This multidisciplinary approach emphasizes comprehensive care management, care coordination, transitional support, and community resource navigation to help individuals achieve their wellness and recovery goals.

Beyond its core Behavioral Health Home framework, DMHAS offers a wide range of statewide behavioral health programs, including trauma-related services, medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, gambling recovery services, and specialized programs for veterans, older adults, young adults, women and children, individuals with acquired brain injuries, and the LGBTQIA+ community. The agency also delivers prevention initiatives, housing and homeless services, forensic services, education and employment supports, and overdose prevention resources. Grounded in person-centered care and evidence-based practices, DMHAS remains a cornerstone in Connecticut’s behavioral health system, promoting long-term stability, safety, and recovery for residents across the state.
