Treatment Courts

What are Treatment Courts?

Treatment courts are specialized court programs that connect eligible participants with treatment, support services, and ongoing accountability.

Unlike diversion programs, treatment courts include regular court supervision and are designed to address underlying needs that may contribute to criminal behavior.

Treatment courts allow participants to take responsibility for their actions, follow a structured treatment plan, and work toward long-term stability.

Program Requirements

Requirements vary by treatment court and may include counseling, regular court appearances, progress check-ins, drug testing, and other program requirements.

Most treatment courts require a minimum commitment of one year, though program length varies by court.

Participants must complete the requirements for their specific treatment court.

Eligibility

Eligibility varies by treatment court. Individuals should speak with their attorney or contact program staff to learn which options may be available to them.
