Sixty percent of all those in jail or prison have been diagnosed with a mental health condition. The Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI) programs were developed to help individuals return to normal life and avoid future incarceration. ATI focuses on person-centered planning, working closely with law enforcement, the courts and correctional departments.
Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI) Transport
ATI Transport connects those sentenced to the Salt Lake County jail to a treatment provider and Valley pharmacy immediately upon their release. Individuals diagnosed as Severely Mentally Ill (SMI) will be ordered by the court to be released to Valley at the time they have completed their commitment.
CORE (Co-occurring Reentry & Empowerment)
The CORE residential program helps adult male criminal offenders with more than one disorder, like mental illness and substance abuse. Our 16-bed facility is a transition-focused program to help individuals re-enter the community and avoid prison.
CRT (Community Response Team)
Working with many community agencies, our Community Response Team identifies, assesses, and provides support to clients who have serious mental illness (SMI) and are minor and repeat offenders. CRT works specifically at the Salt Lake County Detention Center and Oxbow Jail, providing resources, advocacy and support in discharge planning.
Jail Diversion Outreach Team (JDOT)
