Wood County, WVCounty

Wood County is the Fourth Judicial Circuit, and its treatment court carries a veterans track. The judiciary's FY 2026 adult drug court map, revised April 15, 2026, lists "Mid-Ohio Valley ADC (3rd & 4th) (VTC Track)" among the eleven drug courts statewide with a veterans treatment court track. The Mid-Ohio Valley Adult Drug Court, established 2007, serves Doddridge, Pleasants, Ritchie, Wirt and Wood Counties. The contact is the drug court probation officer, Julianna Stephens - the contacts page prints her email domain as courtwv.gov, missing an s every other address on the page has, so the phone or a corrected email is safer. The judge is Circuit Judge Jason Wharton, one of Wood County's own circuit judges. A veteran facing charges in Wood County asks counsel or the coordinator about the veterans track; a veteran charged in another county of the two-circuit court's territory is under the same program. Eligibility is court-decided under the state's adult treatment court framework, which sets a minimum program length of one year by statute; there is no right to participate.
