Program Description

  Adult Behavioral Health Services

This program (ABHP) offers a range of services including individual and group psychotherapy, office-based case management, psychiatric evaluations, and medication monitoring for Montgomery County residents with serious mental health conditions who have limited financial resources. The program primarily serves individuals who cannot access the public mental health system due to a lack of public benefits, or other income barriers. ABHP also supports clients in special circumstances, such as those recently discharged from psychiatric hospitalization or incarceration, individuals involved with other health and human service agencies, or those who have not benefited from prior treatment within the public system. The program's goal is to enhance clients' behavioral health and promote greater adaptive functioning within the community. Most staff are bilingual in either Spanish or Vietnamese, and additional interpretation services are available through the Language Line.
