veterans treatment court

Veterans Treatment Court is a specialized court designed to help military veterans facing criminal charges, often related to issues like PTSD, substance abuse, or mental health challenges. It aims to address the underlying problems contributing to their legal issues through tailored treatment programs, counseling, and support services. Participants typically work closely with judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and service providers in a collaborative process. The goal is to promote rehabilitation, reduce recidivism, and support veterans in rebuilding their lives, rather than focusing solely on punishment.
