**A True**The initial costs associated with mental health courts can indeed seem excessive because they require significant resources, such as specialized personnel (judges, attorneys, mental health professionals), training, and infrastructure. These upfront investments may appear higher than the immediate costs of incarcerating individuals with mental illnesses. However, over time, mental health courts often lead to cost savings by reducing recidivism rates, improving treatment outcomes, and decreasing the burden on the criminal justice system.
