Substance Abuse · Virginia · Free

Virginia operates over 50 drug courts that divert eligible defendants from incarceration into structured treatment and supervision programs. Drug courts combine judicial oversight, substance abuse treatment, frequent drug testing, and support services. Successful completion can result in reduced or dismissed charges. Referrals come through the criminal court system. Ask your attorney or the court whether you may be eligible for drug court as an alternative to traditional prosecution in Virginia.
