Helping people get better and stay out of the criminal justice system.
Court-Ordered Treatment
Do you or someone you know have a mental illness and/or substance use disorder? Have these challenges led to involvement with the criminal justice system? The Center for Health Care Services can help people overcome challenges that may otherwise lead to jail time and/or frequent hospitalizations.
It is estimated that 25 percent of people involved in the criminal justice system have some form of mental illness, and 99 percent of all people in jail or prison return to the community. Through The Center’s justice programs, clients have an opportunity to improve their life and change their circumstance, all at no cost.
In some cases, participation in these programs is a condition of parole, probation, pretrial or a civil commitment requiring the person to meet with a judge on a weekly basis. The following programs share a common goal — to help people get better and stay out of the criminal justice system.
