About the Program
The Rock County Drug Court Program began in 2007 after Rock County applied for and received a Treatment Alternatives and Diversion (TAD) grant. Drug Court Case Managers oversee the twelve–month treatment program for those participating in the Rock County Drug Court. Treatment is designed for non-violent participants with substance abuse issues. Entry into the Program requires a Drug Court contract agreement between the Rock County District Attorney's Office, Defense Counsel, and the participant. Entry also requires a plea of guilty or no contest to current charges in exchange for potential reduction or dismissal of those charges or other sentencing concessions made upon successful completion of the Program. Participants may also enter the program through a referral from the Department of Corrections as an Alternative to Revocation.
