Athens-Hocking-Vinton Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board

What Athens-Hocking-Vinton Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board does

Athens-Hocking-Vinton Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board (the '317 Board') is a government behavioral health board established in 1967 under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 340 and headquartered at 7990 Dairy Lane, Athens, Ohio. It operates as a quasi-governmental coordinating and funding body — not a direct service provider — responsible for planning, funding, and evaluating a network of behavioral health services across Athens, Hocking, and Vinton counties in Appalachian Southeast Ohio. The board works from a small internal staff of 7 (Executive Director, Deputy Director, Fiscal Director, Quality and Planning Director, Community Services Manager, and two support staff) and is governed by 18 residents appointed by the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health or county commissioners. Funding flows to roughly 10–12 contracted partner agencies (notably Hopewell Health Centers, Health Recovery Services, My Sister's Place, Integrated Services for Behavioral Health, TASC of Southeast Ohio, and several recovery housing and peer support operators) that deliver mental health, substance use disorder, crisis, prevention, and recovery services. The board itself operates the Woods at Dairy Lane supportive housing facility directly and convenes community coalitions, criminal justice partnerships, and school-based programs.

The 317 Board's core technology is administrative rather than clinical: it uses Smartsheet for consumer and stakeholder satisfaction surveys, referral and funding request forms, and outcome reporting; Zoom for monthly public board meetings (virtual meeting policy adopted April 2025); Facebook for community engagement; and YouTube for an 'Agency Spotlight' video series. There is no proprietary software, no consumer-facing app, no API, and no AI/ML capability disclosed. Quality assurance is performed through outcome reporting forms required of contracted agencies and periodic satisfaction surveys.

The business model is structured as a public funding distribution body rather than a revenue-generating enterprise. Revenue is derived from two streams: state funding allocations from the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health (the board's parent oversight entity) and local property tax levies approved by voters across the three counties. These funds are disbursed to contracted agencies via a provider portal supporting funding requests, training funding applications, and referral submissions. The board does not sell products or services to customers; its 'customers' are the residents of its three-county service area, its contracted provider agencies, and its public sector partners (schools, courts, law enforcement). Specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

The 317 Board coordinates and funds a nonprofit Network of Care delivering mental health and recovery services across Athens, Hocking, and Vinton counties in Ohio. It contracts with multiple service provider agencies for treatment, crisis intervention, prevention, and resiliency programs, while also directly operating supportive housing at Woods at Dairy Lane and facilitating community coalitions for suicide prevention and overdose response.

Product overview

The 317 Board operates as a behavioral health services coordinating body rather than a direct service provider, creating a Network of Care model that contracts with multiple partner agencies across Athens, Hocking, and Vinton counties. The organization's portfolio centers on mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, crisis intervention, prevention programming, peer and family support, and recovery housing. Core partner agencies include Hopewell Health Centers (primary/mental health/substance use care), Health Recovery Services (behavioral health and addiction treatment), and various peer support and recovery housing providers. The 317 Board funds, evaluates, and monitors services from these contracted agencies while maintaining quality assurance through outcome reporting, satisfaction surveys, and program oversight. The organization also facilitates criminal justice partnerships including drug courts and post-overdose response teams, and operates supportive housing at Woods at Dairy Lane.
