Welcome to the Office of Behavioral Health (formerly the Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services). For more information about our name change, please see our news release in the "Newsroom" section to the right. We thank you for your patience as we work to update the website to reflect this change.

OBH oversees a behavioral health continuum of care that serves the whole person and the whole community. We promote a population health approach that includes a full spectrum of services from prevention, to early intervention, treatment, crisis care, and recovery. Our role is to support Maine people with mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders in living not only symptom-free, but with dignity, hope, and meaning. The Office partners with providers, communities, and individuals to offer support, resources, education, training, technical assistance, and services.
