If you have pending charges in Richland or Kershaw county, this program can divert you out of the ordinary criminal justice system. You spend at least 12 months under the court’s supervision with help from fellow veteran mentors, the VA and veterans service organizations, and treatment can include anger management, domestic abuse counseling, family and marriage counseling, substance abuse and mental health counseling, and therapies aimed at PTSD and other combat trauma. Finishing the program successfully gets your charges dismissed and makes you eligible for expungement.
Call 803-576-1893 to ask about admission, and raise the program with your defense attorney or the solicitor’s office handling your case.
Your DD214 or other proof of service, your charging documents, and a clinical diagnosis of the behavioral health, mental health or chemical dependency problem.
