Paint Valley ADAMH Board

What Paint Valley ADAMH Board does

Paint Valley ADAMH Board (legal name: Paint Valley Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services Board) is a county-level government behavioral health authority created in 1967 under Ohio law and headquartered at 394 Chestnut Street, Chillicothe, Ohio. The board serves residents of five southern Ohio counties — Fayette, Highland, Pickaway, Pike, and Ross — and is charged with ensuring individuals and families affected by mental illness and/or addiction have access to a high-quality, recovery-oriented system of care. Rather than delivering clinical services directly, the board operates as a coordinating and funding entity, contracting with a network of regional providers (including Scioto Paint Valley Mental Health Center, Integrated Services for Behavioral Health, The Recovery Council, Pickaway Area Recovery Services, NAMI Southern Ohio, and Fayette Recovery Center) and funding them through county property tax levies, pass-through state funding from the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and federal grants.

The board's service portfolio centers on a 24/7 crisis response infrastructure (county-specific crisis hotlines plus partnership with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and 211 helpline) and a major capital expansion — the James Hagen Crisis Care Center under development at 11485 County Road 550, Chillicothe, funded by $7,962,700 in American Rescue Plan Act funding secured in 2023. The new facility will provide an 8-chair 23-hour observation unit, an 8-bed crisis stabilization unit, mobile crisis response teams, and a law enforcement/EMS drop-off location. Complementary offerings include evidence-based prevention programs (PAX Good Behavior Game, Life Skills, Too Good For Drugs), CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) training that has certified 238+ law enforcement officers since 2013, Mobile Response and Stabilization Services for youth up to age 21, and public awareness campaigns (Pause Before You Play, We Do Recover, Lock Your Meds, Access to MAT).

The underlying technology stack is essentially non-existent as a productized system — the board operates a website (pvadamh.org), coordinates through its contracted providers, and maintains a small internal staff of 1-10 that handles oversight, contracting, prevention programming, and grant management. Revenue mechanics are entirely public-sector: no commercial pricing, no product sales, and no equity funding; all operating capital flows from taxation, state appropriations, and federal grants. The board is governed by a multi-county board of directors with county-specific representation and is led by Executive Director Melanie Swisher, Associate Director Kelly Dennis, and CFO Adam Dyer.
