Drug Court

We provide services to anyone four years of age and older who lives in Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, or Walker Counties and who are in need of Mental Health and Addictive Disease Treatment.

We have partnered with the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit to create a Drug Court Accountability Program that serves offenders residing in Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, and Walker Counties.  This program began in 2017 to provide intervention to non-violent offenders with substance abuse issues. 

Purpose:

To protect the community by decreasing drug-related crime, and reducing recidivism by changing the defendant’s drug-using behavior through accountability and community-based treatment.

Program Phases

The Drug Court program is a five-phase intervention program for adults who have pled guilty to one or more non-violent drug offenses and who are having difficulty staying clean and sober.

  • Phase 1: Stabilization and Early Recovery (3 months minimum)
  • Phase 2: Understanding Recovery Principles and Skills (3 months minimum)
  • Phase 3: Putting Recovery Principles and Skills into Practice (3 months minimum)
  • Phase 4: Maintenance and Developing a Recovery Network (4 months minimum)
  • Phase 5: Continuing Care (6 months minimum)
