Concurrent Disorders Court Diversion Program

The Concurrent Disorders Court Diversion Program responds to individuals with both mental health and substance use concerns who find themselves in conflict with the criminal justice system. 

The program aims at working closely with the Court Diversion Program of Durham Mental Health Services to identify those with/or suspected of having a concurrent disorder. Thereby this program reduces duplication of services and offers integrated, continuous care. 

This service supports clients through an Intensive Case Management model. The program provides a client focused approach to recovery, engagement in assessment and formulating treatment goals and progress, as well as providing ongoing contacts with the Durham Mental Health Court Support program to ensure client follow-up. Average length of stay is 6 months.
