Synopsis of the Topic:

Recovery Requires a Community is a program through the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services that provides services to individuals with behavioral health diagnoses who wish to live in the community. The program aims to enforce the Olmstead decision and also reduce service delivery cost for the state of Ohio. Adam W. Anderson, chief architect and manager of the Recovery Requires a Community Program, will present on how the program works and how the program could be replicated in other states.
