JUSTICE-INVOLVED SERVICES

Justice-Involved services

Everyone deserves access to support and the opportunity to move forward. When you’re involved in the legal system, it can feel overwhelming. 

Our justice-involved services connect individuals in the legal system with mental health care, resources, and ongoing support to promote stability and recovery.

Detention-Based Services

We provide mental health services for individuals in local jails and juvenile detention centers. Our team offers assessment, support, and coordination of care to help address mental health needs during incarceration and plan for continued services upon release.

Specialty Treatment Dockets

Specialty dockets are court programs that connect individuals with mental health or substance use needs to treatment and support as part of their legal process. These programs focus on recovery and stability, helping participants access services, stay on track with goals, and reduce further involvement in the justice system.

Detention-based services are provided within Rappahannock Regional Jail and Rappahannock Juvenile Detention Center and are typically accessed through these services.
