Specialized Recovery Services (SRS)

Ohio is finding new ways to support the health and wellness of its citizens. Specialized Recovery Services (SRS) Program is a program available through Medicaid for people diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness.

There are 3 services available through the SRS program, in addition to current Medicaid coverage:

Recovery Management
Individualized Placement and Support with Supported Employment
