About this file
This document is an educational reference material created by Policy Research Associates describing the Sequential Intercept Model, a framework used by criminal justice and behavioral health systems to identify intervention points for individuals with mental and substance use disorders. The model is designed for use by law enforcement, courts, jails, prisons, probation, parole, and community-based service providers. The Sequential Intercept Model consists of six intervention points: Intercept 0 (Community Services), Intercept 1 (Law Enforcement), Intercept 2 (Initial Detention/Initial Court Hearings), Intercept 3 (Jails/Courts), Intercept 4 (Reentry), and Intercept 5 (Community Corrections). Each intercept provides specific evidence-based strategies and key issues relevant to that stage of criminal justice involvement. The document is included as Attachment M to RFP No. S-19800-00014538 for Veterans Treatment Court Program Expansion Consulting Services, indicating its relevance to the procurement of consulting services related to veterans treatment court expansion.
The document focuses on identifying intervention strategies and service components at each intercept level rather than procurement details such as pricing, quantities, or contract terms. Key strategies include mobile crisis outreach teams and co-responders at Intercept 0, specialized law enforcement responses at Intercept 1, screening and pretrial diversion services at Intercept 2, treatment courts and jail-based programming at Intercept 3, transition planning and medication access at Intercept 4, and specialized community supervision with medication-assisted treatment at Intercept 5. The framework emphasizes the importance of addressing mental and substance use disorders throughout the criminal justice system and facilitating connections between criminal justice agencies and community-based behavioral health providers to improve outcomes for system-involved individuals.

INTERCEPT 0
Mobile crisis outreach teams and co-responders. Behavioral health practitioners who can respond to people experiencing a mental or substance use crisis or co-respond to a law enforcement encounter.
Emergency department (ED) diversion. ED diversion can consist of a triage service, embedded mobile crisis, or a peer specialist who provides support to people in crisis.
Law enforcement-friendly crisis services. Law enforcement officers can bring people in crisis to locations other than jail or the ED, such as stabilization units, walk-in services, or respite centers.
Dispatcher training. Dispatchers should coordinate with 988 and understand triage protocols.
INTERCEPT 1
Dispatcher training. Dispatchers can identify mental or substance use crisis situations and pass that information along so that Crisis Intervention Team officers can respond to the call.
They should coordinate with 988 and understand triage protocols.
Specialized law enforcement responses. Law enforcement officers can learn how to interact with people experiencing a crisis in ways that promote engagement in treatment and build community partnerships.
Intervening with people who have frequent behavioral health crises and/or jail contact and providing follow-up after the crisis. Law enforcement officers, crisis services, and hospitals can provide specialized responses to people who frequently use 911 and ED services.
INTERCEPT 2
Screening for mental and substance use disorders. Brief screens can be administered universally by non-clinical staff at jail booking, holding cells, court lock ups, and prior to the first court appearance.
Data-matching initiatives between the jail and community-based behavioral health providers. Jail-led efforts to share information with community-based providers may be effective due to more restrictive rules related to information sharing for behavioral health providers.
Pretrial supervision and diversion services to reduce episodes of incarceration. Risk-based pre-trial services can reduce incarceration of people with low risk of criminal behavior or failure to appear in court.
INTERCEPT 3
Treatment courts for high-risk/high-need individuals. Treatment courts or specialized dockets can be developed, examples of which include adult drug courts, mental health courts, and Veterans treatment courts.
Jail-based programming and health care services. Jail health care providers are constitutionally required to provide behavioral health and medical services to persons needing treatment.
Collaboration with the Veterans Justice Outreach (VJO) specialist from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). VJO specialists can support Veterans by connecting them with VHA-provided services and other benefits to support recovery.
INTERCEPT 4
Transition planning by the jail or in-reach providers. Transition planning improves reentry outcomes by organizing services around a person’s needs in advance of release.
Medication and prescription access upon release from jail or prison. People should be provided with a minimum of 30 days’ medication at release and have prescriptions in hand upon release.
Warm hand-offs from corrections to providers increase engagement in services. Case managers and peer support specialists can play an important role in supporting individuals in their recovery and community reintegration.
They can assist with navigating the myriad demands placed on an individual, including transportation and scheduling, increasing positive outcomes.
INTERCEPT 5
Specialized community supervision for people with mental and substance use disorders.
Officers trained on the complexities of mental and substance use disorders can support connection to community-based services and supports.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for people with substance use disorders. MAT approaches can reduce relapse episodes and overdoses among individuals returning from detention.
Access to recovery supports, benefits, housing, and competitive employment. Housing and employment are as important to criminal legal system-involved individuals as access to treatment services. Removing barriers to access is critical.
