Sobriety court is a specialized court designed to help individuals struggling with substance abuse issues who are involved in the criminal justice system. Instead of traditional sentencing, sobriety courts focus on rehabilitation, offering participants a structured program that includes regular drug testing, counseling, and support meetings. The goal is to help individuals overcome addiction, improve their lives, and reduce recidivism. Participants must adhere to strict guidelines and demonstrate progress, often receiving support from judges and peers. Successful completion can lead to reduced or dismissed charges, promoting recovery and reintegration into the community.
