National Standards & Professional Development
A unified resource center for every member of the Veterans Treatment Court team — mentors, attorneys, clinicians, and court staff. Built on the foundation of the Ten Key Components.
Every team member brings unique expertise. Find the tools, training, and publications tailored to your role.
In 2008, the Buffalo Veterans Treatment Court adapted the U.S. Department of Justice's "Defining Drug Courts: The Key Components." These components provide the foundation for every successful VTC — including ours here in Hawai'i.
Veterans Treatment Courts promote sobriety, recovery and stability through a coordinated response to veterans' dependency on alcohol, drugs, and/or management of their mental illness. Realization of these goals requires a team approach. This approach includes the cooperation and collaboration of the traditional partners found in drug treatment courts and mental health treatment courts with the addition of the Veteran Administration Health Care Network, veterans and veterans family support organizations, and veteran volunteer mentors.
All Rise (formerly NADCP) is the national organization driving the treatment court movement. Their publications library includes specialized resources for judges, attorneys, mentors, coordinators, and court staff.
