The Acadiana Area Human Services District (AAHSD) is a state agency created by the Louisiana State Legislature. AAHSD operates under a contract with the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) to manage and administer services for both the Office of Behavioral Health and the Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities. Further, AAHSD is licensed by the Health Standards Section of LDH.
