If you are facing charges in the state court system and need treatment, the veterans treatment court gives you a supervised route to that treatment instead of the ordinary criminal process. It is not a way out of the charges: it lasts at least 18 months and you have to follow the court’s rules, regulations and sanctions. You also have to disclose permanent change of station orders, deployments or other orders, and if you are serving, your commander has to confirm you will be reasonably available to take part.
Call the North Dakota Veterans Justice Outreach Coordinator on 701-461-7330 extension 7364 or 701-200-2723, and tell your defence attorney you want to be considered for veterans treatment court.
Proof of your service, confirmation of your VA benefit eligibility if you are a former service member, and your treatment and case information.
