Pinal County Superior Court Veterans Treatment Court

The Superior Court of Arizona in Pinal County runs three specialty courts with its Adult Probation Department: a drug treatment court, a mental health treatment court and a Veterans Treatment Court. The court describes the Veterans Treatment Court as a hybrid of the other two that uses the drug court model for veterans struggling with addiction, mental illness or both, unemployment and other problems. How it works. Like the other specialty courts it coordinates the judge, the County Attorney, the Public Defender, probation and treatment providers, with frequent court appearances and structured phases of treatment. The team works on the veteran's social functioning and needs such as employment, housing and treatment, and on trauma from service. Who can take part. The court publishes no rating test and no discharge rule. A veteran with a felony case in the Superior Court, or already on probation, should ask defence counsel or the probation officer to request a screening.
