In the spring of 2023, two 16-bed modulars will be open and operational for justice involved, dual-diagnosed adult men and women age 18 and older.
The purpose of the program is to facilitate a safe and timely transition from a higher level care facility to a community home-like setting to complete their healing and recovery.
Adult residential treatment services are rehabilitative services for individuals who would be at risk of hospitalization or other institutional placement if they were not in a residential treatment program. One modular will be for adult males and the other for adult females ages 18 and older with serious and persistent mental illness.
Participants may suffer from psychosis with moderate to severe impairment in general social functioning and in activities of daily living. Participants will have a diagnosis of a co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorder and may also have experienced long periods of homelessness prior to enrollment.
Referrals will come from BHS criminal justice partners that include Law Enforcement Agencies, Correctional Health Services, the District Attorney’s Office, the Public Defender’s Office, the Probation Department, and the Collaborative Court System.
Grant funding from the California Health Facilities Financing Authority (CHFFA) underwrote the construction, modular procurement, and furnishings for the facilities. Services will be funded through the Mental Health Services Act. The modulars will be located in French Camp and program participants may stay for up to six months.
