Care that meets you where the system does.
Specialized behavioral health services for individuals involved with the court system, juvenile justice, and county jails — from court-referred education and forensic residential care to juvenile liaison services and reentry case management.
Behavioral health and the legal system — bridged.
Involvement with the justice system doesn't disqualify someone from receiving quality mental health and substance use care. SCAMHC provides a full continuum of services specifically designed for justice-involved individuals — from court-ordered education classes and forensic residential treatment to juvenile court coordination and jail-based reentry case management. Our goal is to reduce recidivism, restore competency, and support lasting community reintegration.

Court or Agency Referral
Most justice-involved services begin through a court or agency referral — from a Court Referral Officer, the Covington County Jail, the Juvenile Court, or the Department of Human Resources.
Intake & Assessment
SCAMHC conducts an intake evaluation to determine the appropriate level of care — whether education classes, outpatient services, residential placement, or forensic care.
Connected to Services
