This set of guidelines are intended to assist behavioral health and corrections, and community corrections administrators in their ability to develop effective transition plans and to drive cross-system reentry approaches between behavioral health and criminal justice agencies. The guidelines can be used as a tool within behavioral health agencies on the state and local levels to ensure that community-based approaches respond to the multi-dimensional needs of clients who are involved in the criminal justice system and the agencies that supervise them.
