The Ulster County Mental Health Department (UCMHD) is designated
under New York State Mental Hygiene Law as the oversight body
for publicly funded services to mentally ill, chemically
dependent and developmentally disabled persons. In addition,
the department is licensed by the New York State Office of
Mental Health and the New York State Office of Alcoholism
& Substance Abuse Services to provide outpatient mental
health, drug and alcohol clinic treatment services for
children, families and adults. The mission of the department's
clinical service is to promote hope, recovery, and healthy
development for people with mental health and substance abuse
problems so that they may achieve the best quality of life
possible. The department also contracts with not-for-profit
agencies for the provision of a variety of other mental
health, drug and alcohol services, as well as services for the
mentally retarded and developmentally disabled.
UCMHD specializes in the provision of a comprehensive range of
services for at-risk populations, including seriously mentally
ill adults, seriously emotionally disturbed children,
adolescents, young adults and adults with co-occurring

abuse. Services are provided to individuals mandated into
treatment by the courts. Due to financial support from the
State and County, the department is able to accept virtually
