The Recovery Court Program
The program is designed to be a minimum of 18 months, consisting of five (5) phases; each phase having a minimum time to complete. Treatment may consist of inpatient, residential, and outpatient treatment, or a combination of any of the above through our program, and/or other available community resources. The five phases are designed to help break the pattern of substance abuse/dependency, address mental health issues and assist with re-entry into the community.
Recovery Court is a VOLUNTARY program for its participants but requires approval of the prosecutor, defense counsel, the referring Judge and the Recovery Court treatment team. While there are certain things that you must complete, your ability to progress through the program and graduate will depend greatly upon your actions. If you miss appointments, ignore court requirements, or fail to remain sober your time and participation in the program can be impacted through delayed advancement through phases or possible termination.
Recovery (Drug) courts are the most successful innovation to address the treatment needs of substance-abusing offenders. The innovation alters how the court handles sentencing and monitors the case, and it integrates treatment into the primary goal of the sentence.
