"This court is designed to provide compassionate, individualized care plans that prioritize treatment, support, and housing, offering a path to recovery and stability for those in need," said Judge Sandra Bean.
"The court's purpose is to create a treatment option between voluntary outpatient care and involuntary care such as emergency psychiatric holds or conservatorship."
Alameda County CARE Court is set to address the intertwined crises of untreated psychiatric illnesses, homelessness, and incarceration by providing structured support options.
Disability rights groups express concerns that CARE Court could violate individuals' civil rights by compelling them to accept treatment against their will.
