Adult Drug Court
While incarceration removes individuals from their drug-abusing lifestyles for a period of time, addicts who don't receive treatment, education and life-skills training often return to the same cycle of drug use and criminal activity. Drug Court helps combat those problems through a supervised program that successfully combines a strong treatment component with the legal weight of law enforcement.
Misdemeanor District Court
The Pretrial Diversion Program is designed to help defendants before they develop long-term, destructive behavior. The program is successful in giving offenders a second chance while recognizing their obligations to their victims, their communities and themselves.
