Rehabilitation

Washington County DA promotes rehabilitation with programs addressing addiction, mental health, and trauma to help offenders become law-abiding citizens. These include specialty courts and diversion programs.

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office supports a wide variety of programs and initiatives that promote rehabilitating those who commit crimes so they can become responsible, law-abiding members of our community. While the criminal justice system emphasizes personal accountability and responsibility for actions, in many circumstances, there are also opportunities to address underlying issues that may play a role in the commission of crimes. Examples of these underlying issues can include addiction, mental health, and prior trauma.
