The need to divert people with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders from the criminal justice system to treatment is increasingly apparent. Many offenders, both young and adult, whose misdemeanor offenses are related more to the symptoms of mental illness and substance use than to truly criminal behavior, are poorly served in a criminal justice system that offers little in the way of structured treatment. This publication describes the steps taken by King County (Seattle) Washington to provide an integrated approach to the multiple problems the identified populations present.
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Creating Integrated Service Systems for People With Co-Occurring Disorders Diverted From the Criminal Justice System: The King County (Seattle) Experience created by David Wertheimer, M.S.W.
