    The Maryland Department of Information Technology (“DoIT”) offers translations of the content through Google Translate. Because Google Translate is an external website, DoIT does not control the quality or accuracy of translated content. All DoIT content is filtered through Google Translate which may result in unexpected and unpredictable degradation of portions of text, images and the general appearance on translated pages. Google Translate may maintain unique privacy and use policies. These policies are not controlled by DoIT and are not associated with DoIT’s privacy and use policies. After selecting a translation option, users will be notified that they are leaving DoIT’s website. Users should consult the original English content on DoIT’s website if there are any questions about the translated content.

    DoIT uses Google Translate to provide language translations of its content. Google Translate is a free, automated service that relies on data and technology to provide its translations.

    Local Jurisdictions

    ​Maryland’s Behavioral Health Authorities


    Each Maryland jurisdiction has at least one behavioral health agency that coordinates directly with the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA). These jurisdictional agencies—Core Service Agencies (CSA), Local Addictions Authorities (LAA), and Local Behavioral Health Authorities (LBHA)—function under the authority of the Secretary of the Maryland Department of Health, see Maryland Annotated Code, Health-General §§ 10–1201 through 10–1203. 

    CSAs are the designated county or multicounty authority that is responsible for planning, managing, and monitoring publicly funded mental health services. 
    LAAs are the designated county or multicounty authority that is responsible for planning, managing, and monitoring publicly funded substance-related and addictive disorder services. 
    LBHAs are the designated county or multicounty authority that is responsible for planning, managing, and monitoring publicly funded mental health, substance-related, and addictive disorder services.
