ACCOUNTABILITY COURT

Accountability Court programs are designed for defendants who are suffering from substance abuse addiction and/or mental health issues. Program participants receive intensive court supervision in collaboration with the prosecutor, defense attorney, law enforcement, probation, and treatment professionals. It is in the interest of the community to attempt to rehabilitate individuals by addressing core issues that may reduce the possibility of committing future criminal acts.

 

DRUG ACCOUNTABILITY COURT

In 2013, Superior Court Judge Ellen McElyea began the Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit Drug Accountability Court (DAC). The five-phase DAC program requires a minimum of 18 months to graduate. Beginning in 2016, DAC added a required six month period after completion of DAC where the defendant must continue drug testing and follow any recommended treatment through social support groups such as Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous.

TREATMENT ACCOUNTABILITY COURT

In 2016 Probate Court Judge Keith Wood began the Cherokee County Treatment Accountability Court (TAC). This program requires a minimum of 18 months to graduate. TAC is designed to help defendants suffering from mental health issues that likely contribute to criminal behavior. TAC serves both felony and misdemeanor offenders from Superior and State Court.

VETERANS TREATMENT COURT

In 2017, State Court Judge Dee Morris began the Cherokee County Veteran’s Treatment Court (VTC). The five-phase VTC program requires a minimum of 18 months to graduate. VTC provides treatment for defendants who are veterans suffering from substance abuse and/or mental health issues usually resulting from their service. Most participants suffer from PTSD due to combat or other trauma in the military.
