Courts, Probation & Parole
Partnering with Courts, Probation and Parole to Support Recovery
Through trusted partnerships with courts, probation, and parole, BHG expands access to treatment that supports compliance, recovery and reduced recidivism.
Why Treatment Matters in Justice Settings
Addressing Substance Use Disorder in the Justice System
Substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), is highly prevalent among individuals involved in the justice system. Many people under court supervision or diversion programs struggle with untreated SUD, which can increase the risk of noncompliance, relapse and recidivism.
Courts and community supervision programs choose BHG because we help individuals comply with legal mandates while addressing the root causes of substance use. Our evidence-based programs support diversion initiatives, alternative sentencing and successful reentry, reducing strain on the justice system and saving taxpayer dollars.
