The Adult Treatment Court (ATC) is more than a set of requirements, it’s a program that empowers participants to move beyond survival, embrace purpose, and build a life grounded in hope, opportunity, and sustained recovery. 

The ATC serves non-violent felony offenders, offering comprehensive support for those addressing a substance use disorder or managing a co-occurring diagnosis involving both substance use and mental health conditions.

By promoting accountability, restoring dignity, preventing unnecessary incarceration, and supporting long-term recovery, the ATC protects the community, transforms lives, strengthens families, and breaks the cycle of justice system involvement.
