Specialty Courts are problem-solving courts that focus on the root causes of criminal behavior and child neglect, such as addiction, mental illness, and other life challenges. Instead of traditional punishment, participants receive structured, court-supervised treatment plans tailored to their needs. These plans include close monitoring, support from treatment providers, and a system of rewards and consequences to help guide behavior. The goal is not just to complete the program, but to help participants achieve long-term success by addressing underlying issues and supporting progress in areas like education, employment, and overall stability.
