Harrington to expand behavioral health services
Greg Mirhej
Harrington HealthCare System will be expanding its behavioral health services in the face of the crushing opioid crisis, with Greg Mirhej to take the helm as director of behavioral services.
Mirhej will oversee all behavioral health services and develop new programs, including outpatient and inpatient dual-diagnosis services in order to address the growing needs of those struggling with addiction and mental illness, according to a release from Harrington. The effort is to create a continuum of care to service patients with different needs.
“His work to provide comprehensive substance abuse and mental health programs to southern Worcester County has been visionary. We look forward to Greg continuing to be an asset to Harrington and our community in his new role,” Ed Moore, president and CEO of Harrington, said in a statement.
Mirhej has more than 25 years’ experience in the mental health and substance abuse fields. He has been assistant vice president of Harrington’s behavioral health department and director of its recovery services program since 2012. In that role, he has assisted with the expansion of sites and referral sources, drug court initiatives in Dudley and East Brookfield, and development of a new intensive outpatient program for patients with substance use disorders, according to Harrington.
