| The mission of the AMHC Program is to reduce recidivism in our community by emphasizing treatment, stability, and accountability for the offenders with a qualifying mental health diagnosis and those with an Intellectual Developmental Disability. The goal of the AMHC Program is to divert offenders with metal health issues out of the traditional criminal justice process and into appropriate rehabilitation alternatives. The program will utilize the multisystem approach to help participants with mental health needs. The Treatment Team incorporates robust and evidence-based mental health screening, risk assessment, and treatment interventions into an intensive community supervision model. The program will use a non-adversarial approach involving prosecutors, community supervision, treatment providers, and defense attorneys to promote public safety and to protect the due process rights of the participants. The program will serve adult participants allowing them to make significant changes in their lives so that they can avoid further involvement with the criminal justice system. |
