Samaritan Behavioral Health

What Samaritan Behavioral Health does

Samaritan Behavioral Health, Inc. (SBHI) is a non-profit community mental health center headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, that provides outpatient behavioral health services to children and adults across three Ohio counties. Founded in 1965 as the Good Samaritan Community Mental Health Center — the first facility of its kind in the Dayton area — SBHI now operates outpatient clinics in Dayton (Montgomery County), Troy (Miami County), and Eaton (Preble County). Its service portfolio includes crisis care and 24/7 suicide prevention via the 988 Lifeline, individual/family/group counseling, school-based mental health services, Young Children's Assessment Treatment Services (YCATS) for children under 6 with developmental and behavioral disorders, youth medication management, and Project DAWN opioid overdose prevention training and Narcan distribution. The organization is CARF CCAC accredited and licensed by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and serves as a clinical training site for local colleges and universities.

SBHI operates as an integrated component of the Premier Health regional hospital network, which provides administrative infrastructure, marketing, and a referral pipeline via the Physician Connect program and Miami Valley Hospital emergency department. The organization is partially funded by the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board for Montgomery County and the Preble County Mental Health and Recovery Board, and bills fee-for-service revenue through insurance, Medicaid, and other healthcare payers for its clinical services. The core technology stack is a standard healthcare services platform with online scheduling and no disclosed proprietary AI or digital health tooling; go-to-market is sales-led through healthcare professional referrals, hospital network integration, and direct patient inquiries.
