Module 4: Coordinating and Integrating Systems

1D. Juvenile Justice Supervision

Juvenile justice supervision of aftercare can assist in:

  • Monitoring and encouraging involvement in mental health and substance abuse treatment
  • Providing drug testing to strengthen commitment to change
  • Detecting early signs of substance abuse or mental health deterioration
  • Identifying other potential precursors of relapse
  • Reducing the likelihood of rearrest

Juvenile justice supervision can be particularly helpful in providing monitoring of aftercare treatment goals during the first three months of community reentry, when a significant number of relapses can be expected to occur. Juvenile justice supervision during this period is critical for juvenile offenders with co-occurring disorders.
