History of Community Connect
Stakeholders in the North Dakota Behavioral Health System Study 2018 reported that North Dakota’s current behavioral health system is “primarily crisis oriented and pays inadequate attention to rehabilitative and community-based services.”
The study identified a recommended (4.1) to ensure access to needed recovery support services, including providing funds to support the implementation of a “Free Through Recovery” program separate from the criminal justice system. During the 2019 North Dakota legislative session, Senate Bill 2012 passed which created a new section in ND Century Code and provided funding to implement Community Connect.
