National Treatment Court Month

May 5, 2026 Let's Talk About It News News -- KSDM-KGHS 0

Every day in courtrooms across our state, judges see individuals whose criminal behavior is driven by untreated substance use and mental health disorders. Unless these underlying issues are addressed, many will continue to cycle through the justice system, straining law enforcement, courts, and taxpayers. Treatment courts are the most effective strategy for breaking this cycle. in fact, they are the most successful justice intervention in our nation’s history.
