California Psychiatric Transitions

California Psychiatric Transitions also operates a facility that addresses the needs and concerns for individuals that have been court ordered to a diversion program and or have committed felonies/misdemeanors and are currently unable to stand trial. These individuals are characterized as IST 1370. {Incompetent to Stand Trial - Penal Code 1370}. CPT has implemented several diagnostic tools that will be used to achieve competency restoration. Some of the tools include, but are not limited to; an understanding of courtroom proceedings, penalties, charges and defenses, legal terminology and various tests that determine varying levels of competency. Once competency is determined, the individual shall be remanded back to the county of jurisdiction for further proceedings, or if applicable, further treatment may be ordered. Within this building, CPT addresses residents with behavioral issues. The focus of this program is to address and correct disruptive behavior(s), minimize the occurrences, and continue their treatment once ownership of their behavior(s) has been achieved. Throughout its dedicated years of service to the mental health community, California Psychiatric Transitions has become a leader in the process of rehabilitation. Its formula for success is evident state wide, with former residents functioning as members of society, interacting with everyday people in everyday fashion. As we evolve with contemporary approaches to mental health, California Psychiatric Transitions is committed to a tradition of quality healthcare and to the well-being of individuals with mental illness.
