The Wood County Adult Drug Treatment Court has been serving the communities of Wood County for over 20 years after being established by community stakeholders in 2004. In 2007, Wood County was awarded dollars through the Wisconsin Treatment Alternatives and Diversion (TAD) Grant and has been a beneficiary of that grant ever since. This program represents the efforts and teamwork of key stakeholders to break the cycle of substance use and to reduce crime, with the goal of making Wood County a healthier place to live. Adult Drug Treatment Court provides individuals the opportunity to change their life circumstances by committing to recovery while also becoming alcohol and drug free. This is accomplished by comprehensive assessment and treatment for substance use and mental health diagnosis, intensive supervision, random drug testing, regular court appearances, and timely sanctions and incentives in response to behavior. Honesty and individual accountability are the foundations of the drug court program here in Wood County. Wood County Adult Drug Treatment Court utilizes evidence-based practices in its delivery of services and works in collaboration with community providers for chemical health and ancillary services. Cognitive behavioral programming and enhanced mental health services have become an inherent piece of the program. The Wood County Adult Drug Treatment Court is an intensive program designed to provide individuals with opportunity to address their addictions and move beyond their criminal behavior. It is a voluntary program, with entrance occurring post-plea and pre-adjudication for new charges, or as an Alternative to Revocation option through the Department of Corrections Division of Community Corrections. Requirements include mandatory substance use treatment, case management meetings, attendance of support groups, random drug testing, and appearances in front of the judge. Participants are also expected to obtain employment or pursue educational opportunities, participate in pro-social activities, and pay court costs and programming fees. The target population for this program includes adult residents of Wood County whose substance use is directly linked to their criminal behavior. An individual must be found to be moderate or high risk for criminality (as determined by an evidence-based risk assessment tool) and must be found to have a high treatment need (based off of clinical assessment) to be eligible. Our program is structured to provide a minimum of fifteen months of programming, broken down into five specific phases. Phase advancement is based on the accomplishment of goals, program requirements, and the successful application for advancement by the participant. Participants can expect that advancement through the phases will reduce the amount of supervision while increasing the level of responsibility.
