TWENTIETH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COURT - SPECIAL PROGRAMS - VETERANS TREATMENT COURT

Description:

Defendants who plea into Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) are placed on a period of probation, a requirement of which is compliance with a highly structured, court-based treatment program lasting an average of 12 months. One condition of each Participant's probation is a requirement that they be evaluated for treatment, and then follow all treatment recommendations. Participants attend VTC regularly, where their progress in treatment is discussed with the entire VTC Team, including the Judge. A Participant's successful completion of the program and all probation terms may lead to reduction or even dismissal of their charges. Entry into the program is voluntary, but once accepted, compliance is required.
