Treatment Courts are highly structured, court-supervised programs designed to address substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and related challenges that bring individuals into the justice system. Participants engage in treatment, frequent court check-ins, testing, and accountability measures focused on long-term change rather than punishment alone.

Treatment Courts serve individuals who have experienced repeated interactions with the justice system due to substance use or mental health issues. In many cases, participation is offered as an alternative to incarceration, providing individuals with the tools and support needed to recover and rebuild stable, productive lives.

Within Ingham County; 54A District Court, 54B District Court, 55th District Court, and 30th Circuit Court. The Foundation also supports Ingham County's Circuit Court, assisting juveniles who have been trafficked, and the County's Mental Health Courts.

In addition to Ingham County, the MMTCF has grown substantially since our founding, now proudly expanding our service area to Treatment Court programs operated in Clinton, Eaton, Jackson, Livingston, and Washtenaw Counties.

Donations are used to provide direct financial assistance for Treatment Court participants facing urgent, recovery-related needs. Support may include transportation, testing fees, medical or dental care, housing stability, or other basic necessities required to stay compliant and engaged in the program.

Requests are submitted by Treatment Court probation officers on behalf of participants. Officers outline the situation and explain how the requested support will directly contribute to the participant’s recovery and program success.

Our unique relationship with justice personnel is key to the careful, thoughtful vetting process each request goes through to determine whether it is the right fit for Foundation support. Through this strong partnership, our donors and supporters can trust that their donations will have the maximum impact on individuals in need.

Yes! According to national research, a significant majority of Treatment Court participants remain in recovery years after graduation. Treatment Courts have been shown to reduce drug use and crime, strengthen families, improve mental wellness, and save taxpayer dollars.

The most direct way to help is through a financial contribution. Donations can be made online or by check, and every gift stays local to support individuals in Treatment Courts across Mid-Michigan.
