The mission of the Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) is to identify veterans in the
criminal justice system and, when eligible, get them into treatment and court supervision
as an alternative to incarceration.
|
|
|
VTC offers two alternatives to jail time: a probation track through the District Court and supervised by Court Services
and a diversion track through the Johnson County District Attorney's office.
|
|
These programs allow eligible veterans to voluntarily participate in a 12-18 month
program of frequent court appearances, drug and alcohol testing two times per week
minimum, treatment, recovery support meetings, and a mentor program with another
veteran.
