Local courts often use residential community corrections programs instead of incarceration for appropriate offenders. These residential community corrections centers offer evidence-based programming like cognitive skills training, substance use disorder treatment, mental health services, education and employment along with other specifically targeted services. Properly run community residential facilities are accredited by the ACA, PREA and licensed by local behavioral health boards. Facilities address criminogenic needs and research shows they reduce recidivism. Learning Objectives: 1.Participants will understand what makes up a quality run community residential program. Services offered and standards

that need to be followed for a successfully run facility. 2.Participants will understand the basics of using a risk/needs assessment tool to target appropriate offenders for the programs. They should recognize these programs are designed to take the high risk/high need clients. 3.To operate successfully, facilities must meet high standards and they require an investment in funding.

Conversely, Delirium, although it may also show neurocognitive loss and mental status changes, is typically acute and due to an underlying medical cause. It is imperative the clinician knows the difference between these types of neurocognitive disorders. In Iowa, the incarcerated population over 51 years of age has increased by 5% over the past few years with more cases of Dementia and other severe neurocognitive disorders reported. In most cases, early recognition of Delirium can reverse cognitive changes, physical symptoms and psychiatric sequela. Early intervention can, at times, be lifesaving. Dementing disorders tend to be more progressive and irreversible. This presentation will discuss the diagnostic
