The Luzerne County Treatment Court program, sometimes called Drug Court, is a program designed to give those defendants dependent upon or addicted to, controlled substances an opportunity to break the cycle of criminal activity that results from their dependence or addiction and become productive members of our community.
The program is much more intensive than normal probationary programs. A defendant in the program has more treatment meetings, more meetings with a case manager, more meetings with probation officers, and more court appearances than a defendant who is in a normal probationary program.
