Overall ODR Data

ODR’s programs serve to reduce the number of people in the LA County Jail who have mental health and/or substance use disorders. ODR removes clients from the jail through various court interventions or through pre-arrest/pre-booking programs. ODR then provides community-based housing, mental and physical health care, and case management.
