The Paint Valley Alcohol Drug Addiction and Mental Health Board has been awarded a three-year Culture of Quality (COQ) Certification.  

The Culture of Quality program has been developed by the Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities (OACBHA) and its member Boards to improve the quality of the statutorily mandated functions of county Boards administering local alcohol, drug addiction and mental health services for Ohioans.

The Culture of Quality is designed to promote community confidence and Boards' public support through increased accountability. The Culture of Quality brings consistency to the local Board system through self-regulation while preserving flexibility for Boards to be responsive to the needs of their respective constituencies.

Peer Certification is a voluntary process for Boards that involve an intensive evaluation of the board’s operations in comparison to over 140 standards developed as a part of the COQ. This process is based on a continuous quality improvement philosophy, and is meant to be a consultative model that allows peers within the system to perform an evaluation based on pre-established measures and to provide ongoing assistance to ensure the highest possible level of quality.

The Peer Certification stated that, “The Paint Valley ADAMH Board should be commended for all of its efforts to transform its system of care to be more recovery and consumer focused. The Board is actively working to provide clients with the services and supports to sustain the individual on their recovery through its Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC) program.”

The Culture of Quality transforms Ohio's behavioral health system by promoting a more efficient, effective, consistent and accountable county Board system. The Paint Valley ADAMH Board was created in 1967 to ensure the availability of community-based alcohol, drug addiction and mental health services for the residents of Fayette, Highland, Pickaway, Pike and Ross counties.
