Adult Temporary Detention Rates (2019) by County and Mental Health and/or Substance Use Provider Locations in Virginia

This map displays the rate of Temporary Detention Orders (TDOs) in 2019 per 1,000 adults in the population for each Virginia county and the location of mental health or substance use providers for adults in Virginia.

Data on civil commitment comes from the eMagistrate data system obtained from the Supreme Court of Virginia via DBHDS. The eMagistrate system is used by magistrates in all thirty-two judicial districts to issue arrest processes, bail processes, and other orders including ECOs and TDOs. Each time an ECO or TDO is issued, the eMagistrate system is used to generate the order.

The 2019 community population estimates we used were retrieved from the UVA Weldon Cooper Center that produces population counts each year between the decennial census (https://demographics.coopercenter.org/virginia-population-estimates).

The location of mental health and substance use providers was retrieved from the SAMHSA Treatment Locator (https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/locator). Location data is updated on an annual and monthly basis by SAMHSA and is not a complete record of currently available mental health and substance use providers.
