RAND review of the literature• Based on 23 research studies• Strong evidence for the effectiveness of interdisciplinary
mobile community services linked to case management (e.g., ACT)
• Somewhat weaker evidence of psychosocial program effectiveness
• Summarizing findings to date on IOC:– “In conclusion, the research on court-ordered mental health
treatment suggests that the two most salient factors in reducing recidivism and problematic behavior among people with severe mental illness appear to be enhanced services and enhanced monitoring” (p. 27)
– While there may exist a subgroup of people with severe mental illness for whom a court order acts as leverage to enhance treatment compliance, the best studies suggest that the effectiveness of outpatient commitment is linked to the provision of intensive services. Whether court orders have any effect at all in the absence of intensive treatment is an unanswered question.” (p. 27)

THE COURT FINDS:
7. By clear and convincing evidence, the individual is a person requiring treatment because the individual has a mental illness, and as a result of that mental illness the individual's understanding of the need for treatment is impaired to the point that he or she is unlikely to participate in treatment voluntarily.
8. The individual is currently noncompliant with treatment, recommended by a mental health professional, that has been determined to be necessary to prevent a relapse or harmful deterioriation of the individual's condition, and the individual's noncompliance with this treatment has been a factor in his/her placement in a psychiatric hospital, jail, and/or prison at least 2 times within the last 48 months and/or in committing one or more acts, attempts, or threats of serious violent behavior within the last 48 months.
9. The individual is is not scheduled to begin a course of outpatient mental health treatment that includes case
management services or assertive community treatment team services.
10. There is an existing advance directive. durable power of attorney. individual plan of serivcesdeveloped
under MCL 330.1712.

Critical Issues in Contemplating Mental Health
Courts• Is participation truly voluntary?• Does the individual have a right to withdraw?• Does the individual have meaningful
representation?• Is a guilty plea required?
– What are the consequences?• What types of offenses are eligible?
– What about minor misdemeanors?• How long does the court remain involved?• Who gets sanctioned if things don’t work?

The court does have intrinsic advantages in gaining access: while courts are often frustrated by a lack of available services for defendants, few mental health providers will simply ignore a client referred for services by a court. But this, in turn, raises a potential collateral issue: If a specialty court becomes perceived as a more certain way to gain access to services, it may create incentives to use the criminal justice system as a vehicle for obtaining care.

Key Public Policy Issues
• Are separate service systems being created?
• Have mental health courts become a new portal for service access?
• What is the mental health system doing to ensure that people with SMI don’t come in contact with the correctional system in the first place?
