Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction

The Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA), located at 402 West Washington Street in Indianapolis, Indiana, plays a critical role in overseeing and shaping the mental health and addiction treatment landscape across the state. As the state authority for mental health and addiction services, DMHA is responsible for certifying all community mental health centers and addiction treatment service providers in Indiana. Its mission is rooted in promoting mental wellness and ensuring accessible, high-quality care for individuals and families affected by serious mental illness and substance use disorders.

DMHA operates six state psychiatric hospitals, including the NeuroDiagnostic Institute and facilities in Evansville, Logansport, Madison, and Richmond. The division is committed to supporting Indiana residents with limited financial resources by administering federal funds earmarked for prevention and recovery efforts. By focusing on trauma-informed and evidence-based practices, DMHA advocates for a seamless, person-centered continuum of care that empowers individuals on their path to recovery. The organization also promotes strong systemic partnerships to reduce care silos, enhance coordination, and ensure that mental health and addiction services remain transparent, innovative, and accessible to those in need.
