6th district treatment courts

visit their website
Treatment courts are collaborations between the courts, probation, law enforcement, treatment providers and community partners that work to reduce recidivism of participants who are chemically dependent. In lieu of incarceration, treatment courts use a treatment-based approach coupled with intensive supervision and judicial oversight to help chemically-dependent participants maintain sobriety. The participants enter the treatment court for at least a year, during which time they are expected to complete treatment and remain accountable to probation through providing random urinalysis tests and complying with random home visits. The Sixth District has eight treatment courts: Carlton County Recovery Court, Shore Substance Use Recovery Court, North St. Louis County Hybrid Court, North St. Louis County Mental Health Court, South St. Louis County Drug Court, South St. Louis County Veterans Treatment Court, South St. Louis County DWI Court, and South St. Louis County Mental Health Court. Each court has its own team of professionals that collaborate and meet weekly to help participants succeed in the program. Each treatment court also requires that participants appear in front of the judge and the team at weekly hearings. By achieving a sober lifestyle, chemically-dependent participants are less likely to commit crimes and are more likely to be employed and to be providers for their families. Treatment courts not only save money and increase public safety by reducing crime; they also change the lives of the participants and their families.
