    • Liberty County Veterans Treatment Court (Felony/Misdemeanor)

      Veterans Treatment Court is a voluntary intervention program for veterans involved in the criminal justice system due to underlying, unmanaged substance use or mental health disorders.  The program is twenty four months, depending on the level of services needed and the progress made by the veteran. Veterans who successfully complete the program may have their charges dismissed through diversion or be granted conditional discharge through probation.  Many of these men and women have been affected by their military service through combat trauma, PTSD, traumatic brain injury and other problems. Veterans Treatment Courts connect veterans involved in the criminal justice system to benefits and treatment. Together in a collaborative effort, several local, state, and federal agencies work together to provide substance use and mental health treatment and intensive judicial supervision to assist veterans in achieving healthy, stabilized lifestyles. Veterans Treatment Court involves frequent court appearances, random drug/alcohol testing, group and individual counseling, and at times intensive community supervision. 

      Veterans Treatment Courts strive to increase public safety, decrease the incarceration of those with substance use or mental health disorders, and improve the quality of life for veterans, families, and the community.
