Treatment Courts are an alternative to normal case processing, aimed to address the recurring cycle of addiction, co-occurring disorders, criminal behavior, and court involvement. The programs are a collaboration of various organizations. Each court program serves a specific set of case types and population of participants. The programs provide intensive supervision, support, and treatment for individuals who are ready to make a major life change. The goals of treatment courts are to reduce costs, decrease criminal recidivism, and enhance public safety.
'''U.S. District Court – District of Oregon''' ''https://ord.uscourts.gov/index.php/207-community/1706-portland-reentry-court-prc''
The '''Portland Reentry Court''' seeks to reduce recidivism among drug-involved offenders in the federal system. The program population consists of adult offenders who have a history of drug abuse or addiction and were previously convicted before a U.S. District Court and are serving a term of federal supervision. The Reentry Court team consists of
two alternating judges, an Assistant U.S. Attorney, an Assistant Federal Public Defender, Reentry Court Probation Officer, treatment provider, and courtroom deputy.
Participants progress through a phase system, moving through four levels of supervision designed to build the capacity for lawful self-management over time. The focus on Phase 1 is on building relationships within the recovery community, initiating a treatment plan, understanding drug and alcohol addiction and the consequences of failing to change risky behaviors. Phase 2 focuses on developing a vision for the future, understanding that recovery is a way of life, relapse prevention, and building the confidence to sustain recovery. Phase 3 focuses on practicing skills to avoid relapse, building pro-social relationships and a strong support system, and becoming economically self-sufficient. Each phase sets forth requirements that are tailored to the areas of focus described above.
Requirements include periods of sustained abstinence, compliance with drug testing and court-ordered financial obligations, and progress toward individual goals related to employment, housing, pro-social engagement, and recovery planning and maintenance. Participants attend two hearings per month in Phase 1 and monthly hearings in the remaining phases.
The program is designed to take a minimum of 12 months to complete and requires, at minimum, 6 months of sustained sobriety. Successful completion of the program can reduce a participant’s term of federal supervision by up to one year.

'''Multnomah County Justice Reinvestment Program (MCJRP)''' is designed to reduce the use of state prisons for offenders who can be supervised in the community. MCJRP uses an innovative, data-driven approach to evaluate offenders before their cases are resolved. The evaluation not only identifies which offenders can be supervised safely in the community, but also develops a case plan to meet that offender’s specific needs by providing the structure, supervision and services necessary for success in the community.
'''Success Through Accountability (START) Court''' is an intensive supervision program for individuals suffering with substance use disorder(s) and associated mental health conditions, who would have otherwise been sentenced to prison.

'''Washington County Treatment Courts''' ''https://www.courts.oregon.gov/courts/washington/programs-services/pages/specialty.aspx''
Washington County provides three different specialty court options for non-violent offenders who commit drug or drug related property crimes. These courts include Adult Drug Court, Integrative Re-Entry Intensive Supervision Services (IRISS), and Family Sentencing Alternative Pilot Program (FSAP).
Washington County’s '''Integrative Re-Entry Intensive Supervision Services (IRISS)''' is funded through Oregon’s Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI). The IRISS program is designed for select, non-violent drug and property crime offenders. IRISS participants are typically diverted from serving a prison sentence and receive treatment from local providers and enhanced community supervision through Washington County’s community corrections department. This enhanced supervision is designed to hold offenders accountable while also addressing underlying issues related to behavioral health, housing, and employment challenges. Participants must either reside within or agree to move to Washington County and live in approved housing. Participants must stipulate to an enhanced five-year period of probation, with the understanding that most will qualify for an earned discharge reduction at the halfway point. Upon successful completion of all program requirements, the court may terminate probation early, however, there is an 18-month minimum period of supervision.
The JRI team will review the circumstances of each applicant including, but not limited to, a review of the factual circumstances of the current and past cases, criminal history, past participation in treatment programs or specialty courts, community safety considerations, and amenability to supervision and treatment. Eligible charges generally include non-violent C felony and A misdemeanor charges. Other charges may be considered on a case-by-case basis if they do not involve exclusion criteria and inclusion is consistent with the goals of the program.

'''Adult Recovery Court (ARC)''' is a criminal court program designed for individuals who would struggle to fulfill probation obligations because of drug addiction. The ARC program is a cooperative effort between the District Attorney’s Office, Public Defenders Office, Court, Sheriff’s Office, community treatment, and Community Corrections. It is intended for high risk justice involved individuals that have committed non-violent drug related crimes and have not benefitted from previous traditional modes of supervision. Intensive supervision includes weekly reporting to a judge and probation officer, intensive outpatient treatment, home visits, and regular drug testing. Additional resources and supports allow for an alternative to jail and/or prison for those that are serious about making long lasting positive changes in their lives.
To be considered for ARC, individuals must reside in Washington County and be facing new criminal charges or already on probation and currently in violation. Eligible charges include nonviolent class C felony cases, nonviolent class A misdemeanor cases, nonviolent probation/revocation cases, and other cases depending on additional exclusion criteria.

Washington County’s Integrative '''Family Sentencing Alternatives Pilot Program''' '''(FSAP)''' is funded through Oregon’s Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI). FSAP is designed for select, non-violent drug and property crime offenders who are parents of a child under 18 years of age. FSAP is similar to Washington County’s IRISS program with a special focus on diverting parents from entering the prison system in order to promote the unification of families and preventing children from entering foster care.
FSAP participants are typically diverted from serving a prison sentence and receive treatment from local providers and enhanced community supervision through Washington County’s community corrections department. This enhanced supervision is designed to hold offenders accountable while also addressing underlying issues related to behavioral health, housing, and employment challenges.
Participants must either reside within or agree to move to Washington County and live in approved housing. Participants must stipulate to an enhanced five-year period of probation, with the understanding that most will qualify for an earned discharge reduction at the halfway point. Upon successful completion of all program requirements, the court may terminate probation early, however, there is an 18-month minimum period of supervision. Eligible charges generally include non-violent C felony and A misdemeanor charges. Other charges may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

'''Mental Health Court''' is a criminal court program designed for individuals who would struggle to fulfill probation obligations because of a mental health condition. The program consists of three phases and lasts a minimum of one year with the conditions of probation tailored to the individual needs of each participant. Upon successful completion of all of the conditions, the participant graduates from the program and probation may be terminated as successful.
The Washington County Mental Health Court is a post-conviction court program targeted toward non-violent offenders with mental health issues. This court is a collaborative effort headed by the court and a staffing team with representatives from the District Attorney’s office, the public defender’s office, community corrections, the sheriff’s office, Washington County Adult and Mental Health Services, and various mental health specialists.
The goal of Mental Health Court is to assist non-violent offenders who have been diagnosed with a mental illness in successfully completing their probation. There is a strong emphasis on connecting participants to mental health treatment, drug and alcohol treatment, and completing the conditions of supervision including paying restitution, performing community service and engaging in positive activities such as
work or school. Mental Health Court is capable of handling between 20 and 30 defendants and screens potential participants on an on-going basis.

'''Domestic Violence Deferred Sentencing (DVDS)''' is a criminal court program designed for first time domestic violence offenders who take responsibility for their crime early in the criminal process.

If the defendant successfully completes all of the requirements, the charges they plead guilty to will be dismissed.
