Behavioral Health Generations (BHG) is an alliance of Ohio Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Service (ADAMHS) Boards formed in 1995 as a Council of Governments (COG) pursuant to Chapter 167 of the Ohio Revised Code.

Purpose
The purpose of the organization is to help our members and their provider agencies reduce cost, improve productivity and enhance the quality of their services through sharing resources and information. BHG provides opportunities for its members to:

• Achieve administrative efficiencies and cost savings through outsourcing non-mission critical administrative functions
• Participate in a forum of Board and provider collaboration
• Promote synergy and a collective voice in activities to establish standards and to meet increasing quality of care requirements.

BHG Vision
The members of BHG shall collectively acquire experience, conduct research, and develop skills in the delivery of healthcare services to both the Medicaid eligible and non-Medicaid eligible population. Members will jointly plan, fund, operate and manage a system of behavioral healthcare that provides access to the most appropriate quality services in the least restrictive environment.

The system will satisfy customers, yield positive customer outcomes and embrace state-of-the-art technologies. The system will be established consistent with applicable state healthcare reforms, administrative rules and statutes. Such systems of care shall include behavioral healthcare services paid in full or part by public funds provided to enrolled individuals residing in the counties that the members represent.

Services Offered by BHG
BHG provides a full spectrum of administrative services to our member boards to assist them in fulfilling their statutory requirements under the Ohio Revised Code and Ohio Administrative Code as well as the guidelines set forth by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services.

By out-sourcing these activities to an Administrative Services Organization (ASO), our members can reduce their operating costs by sharing the burden of providing these services thus achieving an economy of scale unavailable to them individually. Additionally, BHG provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and the development of best practices to facilitate a continuous quality improvement process.

Counseling & Recovery Services

Everyone experiences emotional difficulties at one time or another. It's not unusual for a person to become depressed or anxious on occasion, but if these feelings persist, it may be time to seek professional help. The caring mental health professionals at Firelands Counseling and Recovery Services help people deal with their emotional problems and maintain control of their lives. We provide a complete range of outpatient and inpatient mental health services for children, adolescents, adults and older adults.

Chemical Dependency Services

More than 10 million Americans suffer from alcoholism or other forms of chemical dependency. Unless properly treated, this devastating disease can lead to a loss of family, job, health, friends, money, self-esteem, even life itself. The chemical dependency professionals at Firelands Counseling and Recovery Services provide a complete continuum of treatment and prevention services to help individuals and families establish and maintain abstinence from alcohol and other drugs. Services are available for adults, adolescents and their families.

Chemical dependency treatment services are based on the 12-step model of recovery supported by Alcoholics Anonymous.

Our Vision

Welcome to KidSource OnLine! We are a group of parents who want to make a positive and lasting difference in the lives of parents and children. We've created an online community that shares our values and goals in raising, educating and providing for our children. We believe that parents and caregivers want to take greater responsibility for their children's health and education, but don't always have the right information, resources or advice to do so. Our goal is to provide that knowledge and advice to help you better raise and educate your children.
