Whole-person care. One connected team. A better quality of life.
Mental and physical health are not separate—they are deeply, inseparably connected. Yet for too long, healthcare systems have treated them as if they exist in silos. OHI's Behavioral Health Home Services exist to change that.
Grounded in integrated behavioral health principles, our Behavioral Health Home model brings together physical and mental health care through a coordinated, team-based approach. We support adults living with mental health challenges who are also seeking help to improve physical health, manage care, and build strong community connections. Whether individuals are living alone, with family, in group homes, or experiencing homelessness, our team meets them where they are.
What Makes A Behavioral Health Home Different
A Behavioral Health Home is not a building—it's a model that helps coordinate care and services in a multi-disciplinary approach based on individual needs. Think of it as a dedicated support system that surrounds you: a committed team that coordinates everything, advocates for your needs, and ensures that no matter how complex your situation, you are never navigating it alone.
Your Dedicated Care Team
At the heart of our model is a multi-disciplinary team built around you:
- A Team Coordinator who serves as the administrative/supervisory role, working with the rest of the team to ensure you are getting the most out of the program
- A Behavioral Health Coordinator who serves as your primary case manager—your consistent point of contact and advocate across all services
- A Certified Intentional Peer Support Specialist (CIPS) who draws on lived experience to help you build natural supports, peer connections, and a stronger sense of belonging in your community
- A Clinical Coordinator oversees the coordination of client care and ensures clinical and regulatory compliance across a home-based treatment team
- A Nurse Care Manager who monitors your physical health, bridges the gap between medical and behavioral care, and ensures your whole health picture stays in focus.
This team works in close collaboration with your primary care providers, psychiatric providers, and any other specialists involved in your care—creating the seamless communication and coordination that fragmented systems so often fail to deliver. With the use of HealthInfoNet we can ensure continuity of care across the entire team.

OHI's expertise
Since 1979, OHI has been at the forefront of behavioral health care in Maine. We were building integrated, community-based care teams long before "behavioral health integration" became a national priority. That depth of experience means our team understands the complexities of this work—and is equipped to provide the kind of consistent, compassionate, whole-person support that makes a real difference in people's lives.
