About Forensic, Re-Entry, and Diversion Services
We offer mental health and substance use services for individuals at risk of criminal justice involvement, those currently in jail, and those previously incarcerated. This includes services provided in the community, in jail, and upon re-entry to the community from jail. These resources are generally for people referred by the Courts, Probation, Public Defenders, or other criminal justice agencies; however, some programs (e.g. STAR Community Program) may be available without a referral.
More information can be found by calling the BHRS Access line at 1-888-818-1115.
