Community partners, state and local agencies, healthcare entities, and resource centers all play an important part in helping to protect and prevent Marylanders from tobacco use and exposure. In addition to tobacco control, those who provide assistance to individuals with multiple health needs are important to improving an individual’s overall health. In Maryland there are three county-level entities that assist residents in locating and accessing services for tobacco cessation and other health concerns, which include the following:
Local Health Departments (LHD): Provide resources and services pertaining to tobacco prevention and cessation. Each of Maryland’s 24 jurisdictions has its own LHD which delivers a myriad of public health programming services. All LHDs have oversight from the Maryland Department of Health.
Core Service Agencies (CSA): Plan, manage and monitor local public mental health services for individuals with serious mental illness. Each of Maryland’s 24 jurisdictions has a CSA. These agencies collaborate with other human service agencies to promote comprehensive services for individuals with mental illness who have multiple health needs.
Local Addiction Authorities (LAA): Plan, develop, and manage treatment and rehabilitation services for those with substance abuse disorder. Each of Maryland’s 24 jurisdictions has a LAA. These agencies collaborate with other human service agencies to promote comprehensive services for individuals with a substance use disorder who have multiple health needs.
Below you will find contact information for local health departments, Core Services Agencies, and
Local Addictions Authority listed by each county within Maryland.
