Success Stories
Early Termination:
“A client was placed on supervision on 04/05/2024 and transferred to the BHSU on 12/05/2024.The client was introduced to the Behavioral Health Specialist from Comprehensive Healthcare the same day of the transfer, and we were able to successfully schedule a Mental Health Evaluation for the client. This evaluation was scheduled three days after his initial introduction to the Behavioral Health Specialist. He was eligible for early termination on one of their cases on 1/09/2025 after completing their RNR Assessment. One final condition needs to be met before being eligible for early termination on their final case and successfully completing supervision if early termination is granted.”
The client in this case was with traditional probation for 8 months. After only one day with the BHSU they had their mental health evaluation scheduled and completed within 3 days of their original placement in the unit. In just one month, they had completed the conditions on one of their cases allowing them to be eligible for early termination and they have made significant progress toward the conditions on their remaining case. It was through the dedicated resources of the BHSU that this could be accomplished. In the end this is a positive outcome for the client who no longer needs our services and allows us to allocate our limited resources to those clients who are in need of our intervention.
Gaining Employment:
“A client was placed on probation on 07/01/2024 and was transferred to the BHSU on 11/25/2024. This client was unemployed at that time. After being place on the BHSU within a month the client was able to obtain employment. On 12/19/2024, client called their assigned PC about the great news!”
This showcases the significant role that both the BHSU and the Probation Counselor played in helping the client overcome a barrier to employment. While the client struggled for months with traditional probation, the encouragement to follow up on previous job applications made a clear difference. Within a month of being with the BHSU, the client successfully secured employment, leading to a positive outcome.
Swift Evaluations, Transport, and Results:
“A client placed on probation on 9/06/2024 and was transferred to the BHSU on 12/04/2024 was able to schedule an appointment with the Behavioral Health Specialist and complete their Mental Health Evaluation with 10 days of being transfer to the BHSU.”
In this situation the client had been on traditional probation for 3 months and had not obtained their mental health evaluation. In just 10 days after being placed with the BHSU, the client completed their mental health evaluation.
Active Client Participation
“Client who had not been attending their supervision appointments with traditional probation arrived to their BHSU appointment on time and agreed to go into inpatient treatment after completing their RNR assessment. The client went into detox for a few days and was then admitted into ABHS with help of Comprehensive Healthcare.”
This case demonstrates how timely interventions, such as the BHSU appointment and the RNR assessment helped guide the client toward treatment recovery. The support from Comprehensive Healthcare played a key role in ensuring the client received the necessary care, ultimately leading to positive steps like detox and admission to inpatient treatment.
Community Outreach Coordinator Success Stories
Swift case plan and resource appointments:
“After case plans are created by the Probation Counselor's, I am able to quickly (depending on the client’s availability) meet with them to reach their goals. So far, I have had 2 clients, one in custody, the other one in the community.”
“The client in the community, I was able to meet with one week after completing her case plan with the assigned Probation Counselor and discussed employment opportunities in depth. We discuss other resources briefly; however, her main focuses are housing as she is currently living with a friend, employment, and transportation. She is currently working on employment, and we will be focusing on transportation and time management at her second appointment with me on 1/24/2025.”
“The client in custody currently has an SUD assessment lined up prior to his next court date on the 13th with the help of Behavioral Health Specialist, this will hopefully help him secure a bed date and go to treatment instead of being released to the streets.”
In these cases, clients received targeted help to address destabilizing factors, rather than becoming overwhelmed without support. Having a Behavioral Health Specialist in the Unit allows the Community Outreach Coordinator facilitate access to services such substance use disorder assessments, therapy, and peer transportation through Comprehensive, which allows case planning with specific goals and meet the client's individual needs.
