Community Justice Programs

Community Justice Programs offers comprehensive case management, support, and advocacy to individuals with behavioral health disorders at all points of the justice system continuum. Through a variety of multi-system programs, Community Justice Programs offers services pivotal to the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by substance abuse and mental illness. The program relies on research-based strategies to identify needs, develop solutions to address system gaps, and evaluate program effectiveness to improve service coordination. Working with our internal research team, UAB researchers, and researchers from other institutions, Community Justice Programs is active in using program data to advance knowledge in the areas of treatment, recidivism, and systems change through research. Collaborative partnerships and support from agencies across health and justice systems have been and continue to be essential to the development, expansion, and sustainability of programs.
