Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Coweta County, GACounty

Georgia's accountability courts, including veterans treatment courts, rest on Code section 15-1-17; see the Georgia entry. Coweta County's accountability courts page: "Coweta County Veterans Treatment Court is a voluntary, post-conviction, treatment-based program that is offered to participants charged with felony and misdemeanor offenses." Its eligibility list: "Current felony or misdemeanor charge in Coweta, Troup or Meriwether Counties / Meet clinical criteria for substance use disorder or have a verified mental health diagnosis / Must not have been dishonorably discharged." The counties named are the Coweta Judicial Circuit's, so the court takes participants from across the circuit. This is a post-conviction programme, so it runs after a plea or sentence, not before.
