Saginaw County 10th Circuit Adult Felony Recovery Treatment Court
In October 2012 the Saginaw County Adult Felony Recovery Treatment Court (AFRTC) became operational. Funding for the program comes from both state and federal sources through the State Court Administrator’s Office which in turn, monitors the AFRTC for compliance with established principles and statutory requirements (see MCL 600.1060 et seq).
Problem Solving 法院 are designed to be non-adversarial and use a team approach to address underlying substance use, mental health and untreated trauma issues. Evidence-based practices are employed as a sentencing alternative that provides life-saving treatment to people living with serious addiction and mental health conditions. 法官 Andre Borrello preside at the weekly pre-court staffing and review hearings. 除了, there is a full time Defense Attorney, 2 full time 案例管理器s and a part time Compliance Monitor. Representatives of various agencies make-up the remainder of our Recovery Treatment Court Team: Michigan Department of Corrections, Saginaw County 治安官’s Office, Saginaw County Prosecutor’s Office, Great Lakes Bay 健康, 1016 Recovery Network, and the Underground Railroad. Specialized training to run the program has been provided to our team members by the National Drug Court Institute and the Michigan Association of Treatment Court Professionals.
A defendant who participates in our Recovery Treatment Court will be required to serve a term of probation with intensive supervision for approximately 18-24 months – often including residential SUD treatment for 90 to 180 days or more. Participants must meet specific requirements as they move through a number of phases. Requirements include individual and group counseling, 宵禁时间, community service, weekly attendance at self-help meetings, e.g. Narcotics Anonymous and regular contact with a 案例管理器, as well as frequent and random testing for drugs and alcohol often during random home visits night or day. Sometimes electronic monitoring in the form of a tether or alcohol monitoring device is utilized as well. 除了, participants must appear before the 法官 at least twice a month in the first three phases of the program.
The number of participants in Saginaw County generally ranges from 20 to 30 defendants. The first graduation celebration was held in 2014. 52 participants have successfully completed the program, graduated and been discharged from probation. The Saginaw Recovery Treatment Court is committed to improving public safety, transforming lives and assisting participants in making long term changes that will enable them to maintain a crime free, 清醒的生活方式.
