Treatment Court

What is treatment court?

The drug treatment court process takes a minimum of 14 months and five phases of recovery, including drug tests two to four times per week, facilitated by ThedaCare, and weekly court appearances along with participation in several other treatment services, support groups and other community based recovery solutions.

Participant Action

Participants have a diagnosed substance abuse disorder, are assessed in advance to determine if the drug court is a good fit for them, and do not have a record of violence or sex-related crime. They plead guilty to their drug crimes and receive deferred or stayed sentences that are erased if they successfully complete treatment, stay sober, and improve life and job skills
