New Mental Health Treatment Court Planned For Bartholomew, Indiana

Judge Jonathan Rohde of Bartholomew, Indiana's Superior Court 2 announced plans to initiate a program providing court-supervised mental health treatment to offenders with a mental health diagnosis. The Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Court's objectives are to provide an alternative local mental illness treatment option to decrease the number of repeated interactions that those with mental health illness have at local medical facilities and with law enforcement and to reduce the current strain on inpatient services.

For the AOT Court, Judge Rohde has partnered with Columbus Regional Health, Centerstone, Mental Health Matters, and the South Central National Alliance . . .
