Accepted Answer

Outpatient community clinics allow mentally impaired individuals to avoid the harmful environment of incarceration while providing ongoing treatment and support to improve independent functioning. This option is more cost-effective and allows individuals to remain integrated within their communities while receiving necessary care.

Cognitive-behavioral strategies are useful as an adjunct to treatment but do not provide the same level of support as community clinics.
