VETERANS TREATMENT COURT (VTC)
The 21st Judicial District Court Veterans Treatment Court is a court-supervised program coupled with intensive treatment and supervision, directed at diverting individuals with prior military service from the traditional criminal justice framework. It is a hybrid of the current Drug and Mental Health Court models, serving veteran status individuals struggling with addiction, mental illness, trauma-related disorders such as PTSD, and/or co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. This is a voluntary program that includes regular court appearances before the designated Veterans Treatment Court Judge. It also involves drug and alcohol treatment, random drug testing, support group meetings, educational classes, and community supervision.
