  6. For what type of patients? • Diagnostically - schizophrenia spectrum illnesses and some manic depressive patients • Patients who are refusing treatment or have a history of non-adherence to treatment • Patients who are incapable of consenting to their own psychiatric treatment • Patients who without treatment will predictably deteriorate and pose a risk to themselves or to others. • Patients who will accept and follow the CTO

  8. Work with what type of treatment? • Follow-up with psychiatrist and case manager • Take psychotropic medication • Long-acting injections of antipsychotic medication • Live in a specific type of residence • Will reside in a group home or residential setting, which by program design supports the development of life skills and promotes treatment adherence

  9. How long does a CTO take to work? • North Carolina RCT - a minimum of 6 months • Qualitative research suggests that “real” change takes about a year • For how long should a CTO continue in place?
