Assisted Outpatient Treatment added to Section I of SPRC Best Practices Registry

Assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) is the practice of delivering outpatient treatment under court order to adults with severe mental illness who are found by a judge, in consideration of prior history, to be unlikely to adhere to prescribed treatment on a voluntary basis. AOT has been added to Section I of the SPRC Best Practices Registry, which describes evidence-based suicide prevention programs.
