Division of
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services
The Division of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (DMHSAS):
- To integrate mental health and substance abuse services with the
Departments and Governor's highest priorities
- To promote the quality and accountability of specialized mental
health and substance abuse services
The Division is also responsible for client rights reviews and investigations at the institutions and in the community. It also
administers the State’s institutional programs for persons whose mental
needs or developmental disabilities cannot be met in a community setting.
The institutions provide medical, psychological, social and
rehabilitative services. The two mental health institutes provide
treatment for persons with mental health problems who are in need of
hospitalization. Mendota Mental Health Institute houses a secure
correctional facility to meet the mental health needs of male adolescents
from Department of Corrections juvenile institutions.
The Wisconsin Resource Center is a medium security facility for prison
inmates with mental illness whose treatment needs cannot be met in the
Department of Corrections. It also provides treatment at the Sand Ridge
Treatment Center for individuals civilly committed under the sexually
violent persons law, and persons placed on supervised release and
community notification.
