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. Rock County Human Services, Treatment Court Services, provide treatment and case management services for the 14-month program. 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.
