Group: Health & Human Services - Department of Human Services

Agency: Human Services

Function

The Department of Human Services administers a variety of social services programs for the State of Utah. The Department includes the divisions of Executive Director Operations, Substance Abuse and Mental Health, Services for People with Disabilities, Aging and Adult Services, Office of Recovery Services, Child and Family Services, and Juvenile Justice Services (DJJS - formerly Youth Corrections). While DJJS is part of the Department of Human Services, its budget is reviewed in the Executive Offices and Criminal Justice Appropriations Subcommittee. For that reason, the DJJS budget and related issues are not summarized here. The Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health also oversees the treatment portion of the Drug Courts and the Drug Offender Reform Act (DORA) program. Programs within the divisions of Aging and Adult Services and Substance Abuse and Mental Health are operated at the local county level. The department also operates one internal service fund providing services used by various divisions in the Department.
