Biographical Information

The Dept. of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services traces it beginnings to the first institution in the New World designed for the treatment of the mentally ill, which opened in Williamsburg in 1773. Now known as Eastern State Hospital, it was followed by Western State Hospital, in Staunton (1828), Central State Hospital, in Petersburg (1885), and Southwestern State Hospital, in Marion (1887). Each hospital had its own governing/management body. The first State Hospital Board was created by an act of the General Assembly passed on December 24, 1936. It replaced the individual governing boards and brought the institutions and training schools under one state agency.

On April 3, 1942, the General Assembly passed an act establishing the Department of Mental Hygiene and Hospitals. The name of the department was changed to the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation by the General Assembly on March 20, 1973. Substance abuse was added to the name March 25, 1987.

The Department is responsible for providing a comprehensive system of services that is responsive to the mental health, mental retardation, drug abuse and alcohol dependency needs of the citizens of the Commonwealth. The Department has developed many programs to fulfill its responsibilities, including treatment, counseling, hospitalization, and rehabilitation services.
