Program Description
The Yakima County Drug Court Program is a voluntary program that includes regular court appearances before a designated Drug Court Judge. The Drug Court Program is based upon the understanding that addiction is a chronic, progressive, relapsing disease that can be successfully treated. The post-arrest period is an excellent opportunity for treatment commitment, which will break the drug-crime cycle.
The Drug Court Program will support you to achieve total abstinence from drug and alcohol dependency. The program will direct you toward becoming a productive and responsible member of the community.
