Who May Be Eligible?
Drug Recovery Court may be considered for adults with eligible criminal cases when substance use is a significant factor in their involvement with the justice system.
Eligibility is determined through a referral and screening process.
A referral does not guarantee admission.

The existing county referral form asks for the candidate, current case/cause number, offense, attorney, referring party, and why the individual may be a good candidate.
