About Terra Firma Diversion – Hayward
Terra Firma Diversion has been serving the California Bay Area communities for over 25 years, striving to provide a solid foundation after you have had interactions with the criminal justice system. They’re located just off Route 238 and roughly a mile from San Pablo Bay, in Hayward, California.
The diversion program is an alternative to the criminal justice system, helping to redirect or divert low-level drug offenses away from incarceration to help address your substance use disorder by providing you with treatment. Depending on your case, you may be eligible for the program before conviction, after which your charges would be dropped. In other cases, you will be eligible after conviction, which allows you to get treatment without incarceration.
They offer several programs that address your needs after an arrest involving drug or alcohol use. These diversion and education programs vary in length and intensity, depending on the program. The PC1000 drug diversion program is also called a Deferred Entry of Judgment program. This is a 24 week program from the County of Alameda available before conviction.
Their relapse prevention program is a minimum of 10 to 20 weeks and helps you get back on track after relapsing from a previous program. They also have a drug testing facility that offers an extensive panel of options for individuals and businesses when drug testing is necessary to identify alcohol or drug use at work.
Depending on what you’re trying to overcome, they have anger management and domestic violence classes that can augment the diversion program. When court-required supervised visits are ordered, the program also provides oversight and documentation in a safe environment for the children involved. They also provide supervised exchanges where a neutral and unbiased facilitator can be present when children switch between their parents’ homes.
