In 2021, concerned stakeholders in Warren County began meeting to discuss the possibility of starting a drug treatment court docket in the Warren County Circuit Court. In 2022, the Warren County Board of Supervisors, the Town of Front Royal, and Valley Health Systems entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and agreed to provide funding to start this effort. The Warren County Drug Treatment Court Advisory Committee held its first meeting in May 2022. In 2023, both Warren and Shenandoah County applied for an Implementation Grant through the BJA, which was awarded later that year. The first docket was held in August 2023, with 2 participants.

A Note from the Program Coordinator

I became a Recovery Court Coordinator because I am passionate about the power of second chances and committed to restoring dignity and direction in the lives of individuals navigating the complex intersection of substance use and the justice system. Our team does not pass judgement, it passes the torch of hope.
