VETERAN COURT MENTORING

WHAT IS A VETERAN TREATMENT COURT?
 

Veteran Treatment Court is a problem solving court. It is a voluntary 12 month program for Veterans who are struggling with service-related addiction, mental health issues and/or other co-occurring disorders.

 

Veterans in the program will receive ongoing judicial and probation supervision, with input professionals led by a judge. The Court promotes sobriety, recovery, and stability through a collaboration with the VA, community-based treatment providers and support from a Veteran peer mentor.
