The Judiciary’s recovery court program operates within the Superior Court to address non-violent drug related cases. The program requires completion of several phases of intensive drug and alcohol treatment and recovery. Recovery court programs are rigorous, requiring intensive probation supervision, treatment, frequent drug testing, and regular court appearances. 

The vicinage’s recovery court program has 262 participants.
