Offender Screening Page

Offender Screenings are conducted by ODMHSAS certified treatment providers to determine felony offenders’ risk to reoffend as well as identify substance use and mental health treatment needs.  Using these validated screening instruments, referral recommendations are made for prison-alternative sentences that best meet the offender’s needs and increase the likelihood of successful prison diversion.  By serving as central screening hubs, county jail-based screenings save diversion program resources and avoid duplicative assessment processes.
