Treatment Courts

Treatment Courts divert justice involved individuals, with substance abuse issues, from prison and jail into treatment. Matching supervision and behavioral health treatment to the needs of those participating in these treatment courts, can help break the cycle of criminal behavior, alcohol and drug use, and incarceration.
