Recovery Court

Treatment courts are specialized court programs designed to provide treatment and rehabilitation for individuals with substance use and mental health disorders, aiming to reduce recidivism and promote public safety.

Treatment courts are alternative judicial programs that focus on addressing the underlying issues of substance use and mental health disorders among justice involved individuals.  Instead of traditional punitive measures, these courts offer a structured environment where participants can receive personalized, evidence-based treatment while under court supervision. 

Research has shown that treatment courts significantly reduce recidivism among participants.  For instance, studies indicate that treatment court participants are less likely to commit crimes and use drugs compared to those who do not participate in such programs. 

• Holistic Approach: Treatment courts utilize a multidisciplinary team approach, involving judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, social workers, and treatment providers to support participants.

• Personalized Treatment Plans: Participants receive tailored treatment plans that address their specific needs, including mental health support and substance use treatment.

• Monitoring and Accountability: Regular court appearances and progress reviews ensure that participants remain engaged in their treatment and are held accountable for their recovery journey.
