About A Revolution: Toward Integrated Treatment In Drug And Mental Health Courts, Sara Gordon
About A Revolution: Toward Integrated Treatment In Drug And Mental Health Courts, Sara Gordon
Scholarly Works
This Article examines specialty courts, including drug, alcohol, and mental health courts, which proponents claim created a revolution in criminal justice. Defendants whose underlying crime is the result of a substance use disorder or a mental health disorder can choose to be diverted into a specialty court, where they receive treatment instead of punishment. Many of these individuals, however, do not just suffer from a substance use disorder or a mental health disorder; instead, many have a “co-occurring disorder.” Approximately 8.9 million American adults have co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, and almost half of individuals who meet diagnostic …
