MISSION: To promote sobriety and reduce recidivism by addressing the issues of alcohol, substance abuse and associated criminal behavior in our community, through the treatment and intensive supervision of qualified non-violent offenders. It affords participants an opportunity to confront and overcome their alcohol/drug addictions, thereby restoring dignity and self-esteem while reducing their rate of recidivism for criminal behavior. The Court commenced operations on February 23, 2003.

SERVICES: Treatment Courts are a unique partnership. The Court, prosecutors, defense attorneys and drug/alcohol treatment providers, all working together collaboratively toward a goal of assisting a criminal offender with the tools and support to enjoy an addiction free life.
Participants are required to sign a contract. Treatment is mandatory. Testing for compliance takes place in and out of court. Participants are supervised by the Court on a weekly basis. Participants can expect to attend for at least a year. By graduation participants are required to have gainful employment and/or be enrolled in an educational program.
