MISSION STATEMENT

 The Allegany County Drug Treatment Court is designed to reduce the effects of substance abuse by offering judicially supervised treatment and case management to non-violent offenders.  The goal is to enhance individual accountability that will result in stronger and safer communities and families. 

Drug Court Structure

 The Allegany County Drug Court will be a Post-Plea Model, with Deferred Sentencing and Interim Supervision Probation. 

To enter the Allegany County Drug Court, defendants will waive presentation of their cases to a Grand Jury (if Felony) and plead by Superior Court Information.  (Misdemeanor offenders will plead to designated offense).  Any facts contained in a Special Information or predicate statement will also be admitted by the Defendant.  Defendant will further waive all rights to speedy trial, 710.30 notices, motions and the right to appeal the conviction and sentence.

 As part of the process to be accepted, defendants will execute any and all releases and confidentiality waivers necessary for all treatment providers to furnish reports and information to the Allegany County Drug Court Team.

To formally enter the Allegany County Drug Court, the defendant will execute a contract outlining the plea, possible and agreed sentences for completion and non-completion, and the conditions of behavior for Drug Court participation. 

 Defendants entering the Allegany County Drug Court will agree to be placed on Interim Supervision Probation for the length of their participation in Drug Court, even if such period exceeds the statutory one year of ISP.
