ADULT DRUG COURT

The primary goal of the Belmont County Common Pleas Drug Court is to provide non-violent offenders who are chemically dependent or who have a high-likelihood of becoming chemically dependent with the necessary tools and life skills to live drug and alcohol free lives. Utilizing the resources of Crossroads Counseling Services, the justice system, and other agencies, Drug Court strives to move offenders out of the revolving door of crime and drug abuse. There are five phases to the program, which lasts a minimum of 12 months. Through this sanctions and incentives program, offenders learn to lead productive, clean and sober lives.
