St. Louis Forensic Treatment Center
The St. Louis Forensic Treatment Center (FTC) is comprised of two campuses, one a 180 bed site located in the South City, and the other a 75 bed site located in the North City, also known as Forensic Treatment Center South (FTC-S), and Forensic Treatment Center North (FTC-N), respectively. The FTC-N location provides inpatient competency restoration and outpatient forensic evaluation. The FTC-S location provides inpatient services for the NGRI, PIST, and VBG populations. Clients admitted require intensive treatment, a medication regimen, and psychosocial rehabilitation services either to be restored to competence, or to achieve the psychiatric stability and relapse prevention plan necessary for discharge from hospital-based care and for safe and successful reintegration into the community. In addition, those who have been adjudicated as NGRI can only be released by meeting specific legal standards as approved by a judge.
