DBHDD offers different levels of residency programs to facilitate least restrictive living, promoting recovery-oriented environments, independent living, and maximizing quality of life. These programs are primarily for adult referrals who have received treatment services in a forensic program at a Regional Hospital, and who meet the criteria for outpatient civil commitment as determined by the Court.
