What the county's pages say. The Problem Solving Courts page describes the programme: "A program for veterans that have pending criminal charges in Muskegon County", with help to maintain an alcohol and drug free lifestyle, a team approach to supervision, regular court appearances, incentives and sanctions, substance abuse treatment and "an opportunity to make positive lifestyle changes". The court's own page adds that it addresses the causes of criminal behaviour "including substance use disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and other mental health challenges that may be connected to military service", with individualized treatment plans, mentoring and reintegration support.
The veterans department's part. Its services page lists "Veterans Court - Recruit, coordinate and train veteran mentors for the Veterans Treatment Court program. Without the mentors, the program would not be a success"; ask there or at the court to volunteer.
