Hall County Veterans Treatment Court (Superior Court Veterans Treatment Track)

Georgia's accountability courts, including veterans treatment courts, rest on Code section 15-1-17; see the Georgia entry. The Northeastern Judicial Circuit's Treatment Services runs Hall County's: "It is the mission of the Hall County Veterans Treatment Court to provide alternatives to incarceration for veterans of the Armed Services with misdemeanor and felony offenses by linking those individuals to local, community-based treatment resources with the goal of reducing recidivism". Who it takes. "Both misdemeanor and felony offenses are accepted. The criminal offense must have a direct nexus to behaviors related to substance use or mental health disorders." A felony case may come in pre-plea, post-plea before or after sentence, or on a probation revocation; misdemeanour participants most often enter after sentence, as a condition of probation. Excluded: prior felony convictions other than a first possession; violent offences beyond those; pending felony charges elsewhere; sale of a controlled substance; and sex offences. Who to call.
