SUMMARY:Ravalli County Treatment Court Graduation
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to join us for our upcoming Treatment Court graduation to celebrate this huge achievement for four participants on June 21st\, 2023. \nThe Adult Treatment Court is a voluntary program which lasts 15-18 months. This program is a post-adjudication drug court – individuals have been convicted of a felony offense prior to beginning the program.

The Twenty-First Judicial District’s drug court was established in 2021. \nThrough hard work\, participants have regained their lives by maintaining recovery and reconnection with employers\, their families\, and the community.\nEstablishing and maintaining recovery is accomplished by:\n• Regular court appearances and immediate sanctions\, incentives\, and treatment adjustments in response to behavior\n• Maintaining a significant period of recovery with no positive drug tests for a minimum of six consecutive months. In the case of our graduates\, their sobriety has been considerably longer\, with over 16 months clean and sober\n• Abiding by the intensive supervision provided by Probation and Parole\n• Paying all program fees and fines in full\n• Maintaining consistent attendance at all court appearances and treatment appointments\n• Demonstrating an understanding of personal problems associated with alcohol and other drug use and criminal behavior and the need for honesty to achieve a stable recovery\n• Maintaining a stable living arrangement and a productive lifestyle through employment and/or training or education\n• Possessing a definitive recovery management/aftercare plan which may include 12-step meetings\, maintaining sobriety and other personalized individual goals as stated in their long-term recovery management plan \nWith the use of comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation programming\, the Twenty-First Judicial District (Ravalli) Treatment Court serves the community and promotes public safety by reducing the rate of criminal recidivism of individuals who commit crimes because of clinically diagnosed substance use dependency.

They want to show the community that they have addressed their issues and want to remain contributing members of the community. I recognize that their course in Treatment Court has not been easy.  It has required their time\, dedication\, and resources.  The staff members of the Treatment Court have invested in them\, and these graduates are showing that this has been a good investment and that it will continue to pay dividends in the future.  I wish them well as they continue to maintain a sober\, law-abiding future.” \nNearly 40 treatment courts are in operation around Montana\, including adult and juvenile drug courts\, family/dependency and neglect drug courts\, DUI courts\, adult co-occurring courts\, tribal healing to wellness courts\, and veterans’ treatment courts. \n
