Bill Summary
Under current law, the Department of Justice, in collaboration with the Department of Corrections and the Department of Health Services, awards grants to counties and tribes that have established qualifying treatment alternatives and diversion (TAD) programs that offer alcohol or drug treatment services as alternatives to prosecution or incarceration in order to reduce recidivism, promote public safety, and reduce prison and jail populations. Under this bill, a program funded by a TAD grant need not focus solely on alcohol and other drug treatment, but may provide treatment programs for a person who has any mental illness. For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill expands the existing treatment alternatives and diversion (TAD) program to include not only substance use disorder treatment, but also mental health treatment services as alternatives to prosecution or incarceration. The key provisions of the bill include:
1. Allowing TAD programs to provide treatment for individuals with mental illness, in addition to substance use disorder.
2. Requiring TAD programs to use evidence-based practices in substance use disorder and mental health treatment, and to provide intensive case management.
3. Integrating all mental health services provided to TAD program participants by state and local agencies and organizations.
4. Allowing the use of surveillance, monitoring, and day reporting as conditions of participation in an approved TAD program.
5. Providing credit towards a sentence for time spent in a TAD program for any offense related to the person's placement in the program.
The overall goal of the bill is to reduce recidivism, promote public safety, and reduce prison and jail populations by expanding the types of treatment and diversion programs available to individuals with substance use disorders or mental illness.
