The SIERRA Pre-Trial Center is a residential program for adults with serious psychiatric disabilities who are in jail awaiting court disposition of charges and can be safely released to the community in a structured residential program. This program is a collaboration with the Judicial Branch Court Support Services Division that is operated by a private agency with clinical services provided by the DMHAS-operated Connecticut Mental Health Center. Services offered include a comprehensive program of case management, psychiatric monitoring, medication monitoring, motivational enhancement, cognitive restructuring and training, consistent supervision and supportive services. Sierra’s goal is to provide a safe transition to the community, enhance and individual’s ability to live successfully in the community and minimize their risk of recidivism.
