SMART Re-Entry Court

SMART Residential and Continuing Care clients, who are identified by staff in need of court intervention, appear before the court to address non-compliance and/or recognition.

The SMART Re-Entry Court is held 3rd Thursday of the month at 2:00 pm or as designated by the Judge.

A treatment team consists of a SMART Counselor, a SMART Officer, and a Court Officer who staff cases 1:30 pm with the Judge prior to the 2:00 pm docket to discuss progress and non-compliance. The team approach provides appropriate monitoring and ensures accountability of offenders.

• Must be screened for eligibility prior to admission into SMART and requires court order for participation
• Must have an advanced alcohol or other substance abuse problem, regardless of whether there is any previous history of treatment
• Must have completed the residential phase at SMART
• Any medical, physical and/or psychiatric conditions must be stabilized on non-narcotic medications
• No serious medical or physical problems that would require ongoing medical treatment/physical therapy off site that would limit their ability to participate in program activities
• No propensity for violence/assaultive behavior
• No severe level of psychopathy

There is no application process; the program is part of the continuum of care upon release from the residential phase.
