Planning & Implementing Effective Interventions Henry J. Steadman, Ph.D. July 16, 2009 Smart Responses in Tough Times: Achieving Better Outcomes for People with Mental Illnesses Involved in the Criminal Justice System July 15-17, 2009
Prevalence of Current Substance Abuse Among Jail Detainees with Severe Mental Disorders Detainees with severe mental disorder plus either alcohol or drug abuse/dependence = 72% = 72% Adapted from: Abram, K.M. and Teplin, L.A. “Co-Occurring Disorders Among Mentally Ill Jail Detainees: Implications for Public Policy.” American Psychologist, 46(10):1036-1045, 1991 and Teplin, L.A. “Personal Communication.” Policy Research Associates, Inc., 6/17/98
“Treatment-Resistant” Clients OR “Client-Resistant” Services
Basic Goals • Keep people out who do not need to be there • Provide constitutionally adequate services when incarcerated • Link people to services to keep them from coming back because of mental illness
Sequential Intercept Model Sequential - People move through the criminal justice system in predictable ways • Intercept - Examine this flow and look for ways to intercept persons with mental illness and often co-occurring disorders to ensure: • Prompt access to treatment • Opportunities for diversion
Diversion = avoiding or radically reducing jail time by using community-based treatment as an alternative.
“Diversion” Criminal Justice → Not filing or dropping charges (ATI) Mental Health → Not filing Condition of bail Deferred prosecution (stipulate to police report) Deferred sentencing Condition of probation
Public’s Expectations Reduce recidivism Reduce violence Diversion Reduce jail days Reduce costs
Diversion Logic Model Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Improved Mental Health /Individual Outcomes Identify and Enroll People in Target Group Linkage Comprehensive/ Appropriate Community-Based Services Improved Public Safety Outcomes
EBP Expert Panel Meetings Assertive Community Treatment Joseph Morrissey, Ph.D. Housing Caterina Roman, Ph.D. Supported Employment William Anthony, Ph.D. Illness Management Kim Mueser, Ph.D. Integrated Treatment Fred Osher, M.D. www.gainscenter.samhsa.gov
Key Expert Panel Conclusions • Forensic ACT Teams (FACT) show promise for reducing recidivism, but Forensic Intensive Case Management (FICM) may be more appropriate for up to 80% of divertees • IDDT will reduce CJ system involvement • No single model of Supported Housing has emerged specific to justice-involved persons
Key Expert Panel Conclusions (2) • Supported Employment is a well documented EBP with face validity for justice-involved persons, but is untested for them • Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) has no demonstrated effectiveness on correctional outcomes • Trauma specific interventions are a promising practice with small scale studies showing reduction in trauma symptoms, but no studies on re-arrest
Essential System of Case* Phase I • Forensic Intensive Case Management • Supported Housing • Accessible and appropriate medication • Peer Support *National Leadership Forum on Behavioral Health/Criminal Justice Services
Essential System of Case* Phase II • Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment • Supported Employment • FACT • Cognitive Behavioral Interventions *National Leadership Forum on Behavioral Health/Criminal Justice Services
San Francisco Behavioral Health Court* Samples: • 172 in Behavioral Health Court • 8,067 jail inmates with mental disorder • 1/14/2003 – 11/19/2004 Results: • BHC = At 18 months, 26% reduction in probability of any new charge • BHC = 55% reduction in probability of violent charge * “Effectiveness of a Mental Health Court in Reducing Criminal Recidivism and Violence.” D.E.
