The 26th Judicial District runs the Columbia/Montour Veterans Treatment Court, certified since 2021 on the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts’ treatment courts list, serving Columbia and Montour Counties with the treatment court office of Barbara Warunek, Court Programs & Development Director, 570-389-5670.
Pennsylvania's veterans treatment courts run under 42 Pa.C.S. 1124-1127 and the State entry describes the model. The 26th Judicial District (Columbia and Montour Counties) runs its treatment court programmes together, and the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts' treatment courts list (as of September 14, 2026) certifies "Columbia/Montour" with a Veterans Court dated 2021 - the same list's Adult Drug Court (2010) and DUI Court (2012) rows for the district.
The district's own page: "The 26th Judicial District Treatment Court Programs target non-violent offenders where there is a reasonable assumption that the offender's criminal activity is connected directly to the ongoing, chronic, habitual abuse of substances. ... The mission of the 26th Judicial District Treatment Court Programs is to promote treatment, recovery, education, and a change in the attitude of drug-driven offenders to reduce recidivism, crime, and the cost of the criminal justice system." The district publishes no veterans-specific eligibility page, so the State entry's criteria and the district's coordinator are the route.
Where. The Treatment Court office: Barbara Warunek, Court Programs & Development Director, 570-389-5670, [email protected]. The Court of Common Pleas of the 26th Judicial District sits at the Columbia County Courthouse, 35 West Main Street, Bloomsburg. A veteran with an open criminal case asks defence counsel, the treatment court office, or the VA's Veterans Justice Outreach coordinator about a referral.
