Levy dollars support a range of local mental health and addiction services, including prevention and education, treatment, recovery support, crisis response, and programs that connect residents with the help they need. WCBHB financial reports show levy dollars distributed across prevention/education, treatment and recovery services.

Levy funds support continuing essential prevention, treatment, and recovery programs for children, adolescents, and adults at risk for mental illness and substance use disorders in Washington County. No levy funds are spent on Board administration of the services or programs.

Mental health and substance use challenges affect individuals, children, and families throughout Washington County. As the need for treatment, prevention, recovery services, and community education continues to grow, important gaps in local resources remain. Continued local funding helps ensure residents can access care and recovery resources close to home, reduces the impact of behavioral health crises on families and community services, and keeps valuable programs, services, and jobs here in Washington County.

If the levy does not pass, there will be a reduction in services and programs. The services and programs most reliant on levy funds include financial assistance for treatment, youth and school-based programs, training and workforce development initiatives, and recovery supports.
