About Veterans Treatment Court
Welcome to the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit’s Veterans Treatment Court
(VTC). VTC follows a non-adversarial, evidence-based approach to
treatment for veterans charged with crimes who struggle with a
substance use disorder or co-occurring mental health and substance use
disorder. VTC addresses not only the problems leading to a veteran’s entry into the criminal justice system, but also the
barriers impeding their treatment and recovery. The defining feature of VTC is the highly individualized nature of treatment and supervision
plans for each veteran, which are created by evidenced-based
assessments, judicial supervision, and personal accountability. The
mission of VTC is to work collaboratively in developing therapeutic
treatment plans tailored to meet the veteran’s individual needs withthe goal of providing stability, wellness, and long-term care.
