Raleigh County, WVCounty

The Raleigh County Veterans Treatment Court is the one stand-alone veterans treatment court in West Virginia. The judiciary's FY 2026 adult drug court map, revised April 15, 2026, counts "30 Adult Treatment Courts, 1 stand alone Veteran Treatment Court, and 11 VTC Tracks", and the Raleigh entry carries the VTC annotations: probation officer Christopher Houck (VTC) and Circuit Judge Andrew Dimlich (VTC). The contacts page lists the Raleigh County Veterans Treatment Court with VTC Probation Officer Chris Houck at (304) 255-9186, [email protected], and VTC Judge Andrew Dimlich. The county is the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit; the courthouse is the Raleigh County Judicial Center, 222 Main Street, Beckley. Because this is a stand-alone court rather than a drug-court track, a veteran facing charges in Raleigh County - and, with judicial approval, possibly a neighbouring county - asks about this program directly. The judiciary publishes no separate eligibility page for the stand-alone court. Admission is court-decided under the state's treatment court framework; there is no right to participate, and the court has the final word.
