Orange County Veteran’s Court

The Orange County Veteran’s Court Program

Veterans returning from combat may suffer from articles-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or may have difficulty reintegrating into society. Due to alienation and lack of support, some veterans fall into drug and alcohol abuse or develop mental health issues. Orange County Veteran’s Court has been established to address these issues.

The Orange County Veteran’s Court pretrial division program was created in partnership with the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, in an effort to provide needed services for those who were members of our Armed Forces. The goal of Veteran’s Diversion is to provide rehabilitative services to those veterans who have committed certain types of criminal offenses, in an effort to assist veterans in correcting behaviors sometimes associated with prior military service. The programs include substance abuse evaluation and treatment, metal health evaluation, and treatment and job skill development.
