Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Kanawha County, WVCounty

Kanawha County is the Eighth Judicial Circuit - the judiciary's county page says it is the circuit's only county - and its treatment court carries a veterans track. The judiciary's FY 2026 adult drug court map, revised April 15, 2026, lists "Kanawha Co. ADC (8th) (VTC Track)" among the eleven drug courts statewide with a veterans treatment court track; West Virginia's one stand-alone veterans treatment court is Raleigh County's, written in its own entry. The contact is the drug court probation officer: Tonya Swayne, (304) 357-0950, [email protected]. The judge is Circuit Judge Jennifer Bailey. The program is a track of the Kanawha County Adult Drug Court, established 2009, so admission runs through that court: a veteran facing charges in Kanawha County asks counsel or the coordinator about the veterans track, and eligibility is decided by the court under the state's adult treatment court framework rather than by published local criteria. A veteran charged elsewhere in West Virginia should read the state map too: the track list changes, and some circuits' drug courts carry no veterans track at all.
