12 Start In Home Outreach Team (IHOT) or ACCESS accepts referral and screens for Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT). Referral sources include family members, behavioral health providers, psychiatric emergency services, jail, hospitals or other community sources. Alameda County Assisted Outpatient Treatment Referral Process (Updated March 22, 2016) AOT/Court Process Begins Court schedules a hearing date within 5 days after petition is filed (hearing may be continued for good cause); BHCS Director / designee serves court documents to person who is subject of the petition, copying Patient s Rights and IHOT; and Court appoints public defender if requested by subject person. Referral is given to AOT Coordinator to ensure timely assessment of eligibility by Behavioral Health Director or designee. AOT Hearing Results of examination are heard and findings determined. If person has not had face-to-face examination, court may order person to be held under Section 5150 for purposes of examination. AOT Settlement Person may waive right to hearing and accept treatment plan. Behavioral Health Director or designee conducts assessment/investigation to determine appropriateness in moving forward with petition. Court Denies AOT Petition Person does not meet AOT criteria and is referred back to IHOT and/or other community resources. Court Approves AOT Petition Court orders treatment for up to 180 days; may be extended upon application of AOT provider and order of the court. Person does not meet AOT criteria. Petition process stops and person is referred back to IHOT and/or other community resources. Person meets AOT eligibility criteria and petition filed. Petition includes affidavit from mental health provider stating examination (or an attempt to examine) has occurred. Person declines AOT Court may order person to meet with AOT Team Person declines AOT Person accepts AOT Every 60 days, AOT provider files affidavit with court on continuing eligibility. IHOT PETITION COURT AOT DECLINES AOT Provider may initiate a 72-hour hold if person meets existing 5150 criteria. Failure to comply with AOT alone may not be grounds for involuntary commitment or contempt of court. Page 1

13 SUMMARY Assisted Outpatient Treatment, also referred to as AOT or Laura s Law, was enacted in 2002 by California Assembly Bill 1421 and refers to court-ordered outpatient treatment for individuals who have a severe mental illness. In counties that choose to adopt the program, AOT allows for adults who meet certain requirements to request that the county mental health director petition the court to mandate treatment for individuals who have previously refused care and meet strict eligibility requirements. ELIGIBILITY Who is Eligible for AOT? Per W&I Code an individual must meet all of the following criteria to qualify for AOT: 1. The person is 18 years of age or older. 2. The person is suffering from a mental illness as defined in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (b) of Section There has been a clinical determination that the person is unlikely to survive safely in the community without supervision. 4. The person has a history of lack of compliance with treatment for his or her mental illness, in that at least one of the following is true: The person's mental illness has, at least twice within the last 36 months, been a substantial factor in necessitating hospitalization, or receipt of services in a forensic or other mental health unit of a state correctional facility or local correctional facility, not including any period during which the person was hospitalized or incarcerated immediately preceding the filing of the petition. The person's mental illness has resulted in one or more acts of serious and violent behavior toward himself or herself or another, or threats, or attempts to cause serious physical harm to himself or herself or another within the last 48 months, not including any period in which the person was hospitalized or incarcerated immediately preceding the filing of the petition. 5. The person has been offered an opportunity to participate in a treatment plan by the director of the local mental health department, or his or her designee, provided the treatment plan includes all of the services described in Section 5348, and the person continues to fail to engage in treatment. 6. The person's condition is substantially deteriorating. 7. Participation in the assisted outpatient treatment program would be the least restrictive placement necessary to ensure the person's recovery and stability. 8. In view of the person's treatment history and current behavior, the person is in need of assisted outpatient treatment in order to prevent a relapse or deterioration that would be likely to result in grave disability or serious harm to himself or herself, or to others, as defined in Section It is likely that the person will benefit from assisted outpatient treatment. Page 2

14 Per W&I Code , the following may request a Petition for AOT: 1. Any person 18 years of age or older with whom the person who is the subject of the petition resides. 2. Any person who is the parent, spouse, or sibling or child 18 years of age or older of the person who is the subject of the petition. 3. The director of any public or private agency, treatment facility, charitable organization, or licensed residential care facility providing mental health services to the person who is the subject of the petition in whose institution the subject of the petition resides. 4. The director of a hospital in which the person who is the subject of the petition is hospitalized. 5. A licensed mental health treatment provider who is either supervising the treatment of, or treating for a mental illness, the person who is the subject of the petition. 6. A peace officer, parole officer, or probation officer assigned to supervise the person who is the subject of the petition. Page 3

15 FAQs 1. Who is AOT designed to help? AOT is designed to assist individuals who have a documented severe mental illness, who are not actively engaged in care, are in deteriorating condition, and have a history of failing to comply with treatment. AOT requires that individuals meet strict eligibility guidelines, as outlined above. 2. How many people are expected to be eligible for AOT in Alameda County? In a 2015 report, BHCS identified 669 of the highest utilizers of acute services in Alameda County. It was determined that 122 of the 670 are unserved in Alameda County. Our hope is that AOT will help connect this group to much needed support and services. 3. Does AOT help provide care for people with mental illness who are homeless? In some cases, homeless people will be eligible for AOT; in other cases they will not. AOT has strict eligibility criteria that apply regardless of whether an individual is housed. These criteria include the requirement that AOT be initiated by someone who knows the individual, either personally (family member or co-habitant) or professionally (mental health provider or peace, parole or probation officer assigned to supervise the individual), and that the individual not be actively engaged in mental health treatment. 4. What are the individual s rights in the process? AOT strictly defines patient eligibility criteria in an effort to ensure appropriate application of the law and to protect individual rights. AOT provides at least two opportunities to engage patients in voluntary treatment prior to a court hearing. Additionally, AOT specifically defines the rights of the individual with mental illness who is subject to AOT, including adequate notice of hearings, to receive a copy of the court-ordered evaluation, to a court appointed public defender in the absence of private counsel, to be present at the hearing, to present evidence and call and/or cross-examine witnesses, to appeal decisions, and regular review of appropriateness of AOT. 5. What is the difference between AOT and a 5150? A 5150 refers to Section 5150 of the California Welfare & Institutions Code and is an emergency hold in response to a psychiatric crisis, allowing for up to 72 hours of involuntary psychiatric evaluation and treatment of persons believed to be a danger to self, a danger to others, or gravely disabled by mental illness. AOT is a non-crisis process that allows for an adult that meets AOT criteria and declines voluntary treatment to be compelled by a civil court process to receive mental health care in the community. The goal of AOT is to support individuals with mental illness in the community in an effort to prevent future crisis. 6. If someone does not comply with court-ordered AOT are they automatically subject to a 5150? No. Failure to comply with AOT alone may not be grounds for a 5150 involuntary hold or for a contempt of court finding. The criteria for a 5150 involuntary hold are already prescribed in state law and are no different for AOT participants than for any other individual. In order to meet the criteria for a 5150 an individual must be at imminent risk for danger to self, at imminent risk for danger to others, or be gravely disabled (unable to care for basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing) due to a mental illness. Page 3

16 7. What are consequences of noncompliance with court-ordered AOT? If the treating mental health treatment provider believes that the individual is a danger to self, a danger to others, or gravely disabled and in need of involuntary treatment, the provider may initiate the 5150 process. There are no additional enforcement mechanisms for individuals who do not meet 5150 criteria. However, some jurisdictions that have implemented AOT have noted that court involvement itself can prompt some patients to choose treatment, including medication. This has been called the Black Robe Effect. 8. Would AOT reduce the number of 5150s? The impact of AOT on 5150 involuntary holds is unknown. Once implemented, the data collection, reporting, and evaluation requirements under AOT would likely answer this question. 9. How does AOT differ from Community Conservatorship? Program Comparison at a glance: AOT Voluntary. Court can order treatment, but if client refuses, involuntary 72 hour hold ONLY if client meets 5150 criteria. Client resides in community with intensive outpatient services. Referral can come from any concerned member of the community including a family member or clinician. Meds: Client retains the right to consent. However, if adjucated, Judge can order treatment which can include medications on an involuntary basis. COMMUNITY CONSERVATORSHIP Voluntary. Client chooses between LPS and Community Conservatorship. Client resides in the community with family engagement (not in locked setting) and receives intensive community, wrap around services. Referral can come from qualified mental health professional in an acute psychiatric setting. Meds: Client may not retain the right to consent to meds, if clinically indicated. 10. Can AOT mandate medication? No. State statute specifies that involuntary medication shall not be allowed absent a separate court order available only for individuals who are conserved due to their grave disability. 11. How much will AOT cost? Other communities that have implemented AOT (Orange County, Nevada County) estimate the mental health treatment costs at $35,000-$40,000 per person per year. This does not include costs associated with the judicial system. Per State statute, no voluntary mental health programs may be reduced as a result of the implementation of AOT. 12. How will the effectiveness of AOT be evaluated? Counties that implement AOT are required to collect and report key data to the State Department of Health Care Services for evaluation. At minimum the evaluation is required to include data that relates to number of individuals that receive services through AOT, engagement of AOT participants in services, and key data points to measure the effectiveness of AOT as an intervention and engagement tool (e.g., hospitalization, contact with law enforcement, social functioning, employment).
