Assisted outpatient treatment toolkit bridges the gap of mental health treatment law and implementation

In partnership with Michigan’s Mental Health Diversion Council, the Center for Behavioral Health and Justice (CBHJ) has launched an Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Toolkit designed to provide resources needed for effective AOT programs. Many individuals living with serious mental illness do not adhere to treatment recommendations, increasing their risk for high utilization of ERs, frequent contact with law enforcement, and more. AOT is a legal mechanism for providing outpatient treatment to individuals living with severe mental illness whose non-adherence places them at risk for negative outcomes. Learn more
