JUSTICE FOR ALL
• Increase the number and available forms
of outpatient treatment (including the
opportunity for the person concerned to be
free during the day for community activities
and to visit the facility only to have dinner,
sleep, take medication, etc.) to allow for a
smooth transition into community living.
• Develop new forms of services, specifically
aimed to support the community living of
persons with intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities.
• Consider therapeutic community approaches and open forensic psychiatry units for
the implementation of security measures
of compulsory psychiatric treatment and
confinement in a medical institution.
Recommendations on release and rehabilitation of persons with intellectual and/or
psychosocial disabilities
• Ensure the availability and accessibility of
adequate evidence-based and tailored
rehabilitation services for detainees with
intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities;
services should involve a multidisciplinary
approach.
• Strengthen conditional release mechanisms
to facilitate the rehabilitation and the
reintegration of persons with intellectual
and/or psychosocial disabilities into the
community.
• Strengthen post-release and post-discharge
options and ensure availability of necessary
aftercare services (including half-way houses, as well as services provided by social
service providers, probation services, CSOs,
etc.), providing support for the person with
intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities
upon release. Ensure the involvement of
the social net of the person concerned.
• Ensure continuity of care through the
sharing of treatment and other records with
service providers in the community, on an
as-needed basis and with the consent of
the person concerned.
