Alcohol/Substance Abuse Services are designed to assist the courts
of Washington County in determining whether a defendant has a problem with
alcohol and/or other drugs.
When ordered by a court, a complete alcohol/substance abuse
evaluation is done and our recommendations are sent to the court.
Our agency monitors the defendants closely.
If we feel they are successful with treatment, we will advocate for
them.
Our agency can help in a variety of ways:
Evaluations
can be performed at the County jail or in the office
Develop
individual treatment plans
Referrals
to outpatient or inpatient treatment and follow up as appropriate
Monitor
progress and report back to the court and/or referrant
