Indiana Forensic Diversion Programming

Forensic Diversion programs are dedicated to providing treatment alternatives for chemically dependent offenders who have long-standing histories of chemical dependency coupled with criminal behaviors and in some cases, co-occurring mental illness. The programs are multidimensional and professionals who collaborate within the program are psychologists, psychiatrists, addiction therapists, mental health counselors, technicians, community corrections case managers and nurse practitioners.
