The department is organized into 30 divisions and offices spanning four core service areas—health, human services, administrative, and support—and it oversees a network of 14 facilities offering developmental centers, neuro-medical treatment centers, psychiatric hospitals, and substance abuse treatment centers, plus two residential programs for children. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, the agency is a large public-sector operation employing thousands to support service delivery.
