Every New Day Brings a New Opportunity
A Brighter Future is Possible with Help From the Oklahoma County Treatment Courts
Oklahoma County Treatment Courts give eligible individuals a chance to address substance use, mental health needs, and justice involvement through treatment, accountability, and support.
Participants work with judges, treatment providers, probation, defense attorneys, prosecutors, law enforcement, and community partners to build stability, reconnect with family, find employment, secure housing, and move toward long-term recovery.
What are Treatment Courts?
Treatment Courts are an alternative to incarceration for eligible individuals who are facing felony charges and have substance use disorders, serious mental illness, or other treatment-related needs.
Instead of moving through the traditional court process alone, participants enter a structured court program that combines treatment, close supervision, regular court appearances, drug and alcohol testing when required, case management, and ongoing support.
The goal is not only to reduce future criminal justice involvement, but also to help participants build healthier, safer, and more stable lives.
How do we help?
Oklahoma County Treatment Courts are post-plea, pre-sentence programs designed for eligible high-risk individuals with treatment needs. Our programs include multiple phases, intensive supervision, regular appearances before the Treatment Court judge, treatment services, substance use testing, and individualized goals based on each participant’s progress.
Participants receive support with Substance use treatment, Mental health or co-occurring treatment, Housing stability, Employment, Education, Transportation, Family reunification, Healthy lifestyle changes, Long-term recovery planning, etc.
Treatment Courts Work!
Treatment Courts help people move from crisis and incarceration toward recovery, accountability, and stability. Many participants enter the program facing prison time, but through treatment and support, they are able to reunite with family, gain employment, and become active members of the community.
