About Us
Missouri law establishing Sex Offender Rehabilitation and Treatment Services, a Division of Southeast Missouri Mental Health Center, was signed on August 30, 1998, by Governor Mel Carnahan and became effective January 1, 1999. The law provides for the civil commitment of certain sexual offenders who have been convicted, found not guilty by reason of insanity or committed as a criminal sexual psychopath. The Department of Mental Health (DMH) is responsible for the control, care and treatment of individuals who have been determined to be sexual predators. The facility has resided at the Hoctor-Blair Complex on the State of Missouri campus that also includes Southeast Missouri Mental Health Center and Farmington Correctional Center.
