The Fayette County Veteran’s Treatment Court is a pretrial diversionary program for offenders diagnosed with a legitimate mental illness including PTSD.
The mission of the Fayette County Veteran’s Treatment Court is to provide our Veteran’s with the opportunity to participate in rehabilitative services in order to address any mental health, substance abuse, or lifestyle issue that has occurred in correlation with their military service.
