DENVER – A Colorado program that seeks to reduce wait times for court-ordered treatment in competency trials has seen some success, according to figures provided by the Colorado Office of Civil and Forensic and Mental Health earlier this month.
The OCFMH currently operates Colorado’s two mental health hospitals, the Forensic Services Division and the Division of Mental Health Transition Living. “CDHS has seen an exponential increase in requests for restoration services since the COVID-19 pandemic began,” said Leora Joseph, director of OCFMH. “We know the old way of doing things isn’t going to cut it anymore, and we are always looking to implement bold, creative and innovative new programs to better serve Coloradans.”
Colorado joins other state scattered across the country to pilot such a program, with similar programs existing in Texas, Washington state, Wisconsin, and Virginia.
