What You'll Do:

The SummitStone Competency Team includes case management, medication management, therapy, psychiatric services, and peer services.

The purpose of the Outpatient Restoration Program is to provide competency restoration education services to individuals involved in the criminal justice system and deemed by a court to be incompetent to proceed.

Position summary: Competency is a legal construct that refers to an individual's current capacity to function meaningfully and knowingly in a legal proceeding.

If individuals are found to be incompetent to proceed, they are referred to competency restoration treatment.

Restoration treatment can happen in three settings: inpatient at a psychiatric hospital, in a jail-based restoration program or outpatient in the community.

Outpatient restoration makes it possible for individuals to stay in their communities, maintain housing, remain connected to their natural support system and continue their employment while going through treatment.
