Meet Charlotte Flores, Program Manager under the Substance Abuse, Addictions, and Rehabilitation (SAAR) Program.

“The court systems, and SAAR are constantly communicating about each participant—what they’re struggling with, where they’re improving, and where they need more support. That level of coordination means participants can’t fall through the cracks, but it also means we can step in early, adjust treatment, and keep them moving forward instead of starting over.”

We extend our sincere appreciation to all treatment providers and partners for their continued collaboration and commitment to supporting recovery and justice-involved individuals in our community. Treatment Courts Month shines a light on the life-changing work happening through collaboration and accountability.

Meet Evelyn Tenorio, Supervisor at the CGC Transitional Living Center.

“Instead of treating every participant the same, treatment courts (like drug court or mental health courts) tailor plans to each person's needs, addressing not just the legal issue, but underlying factors such as substance use, mental health, housing, employment, and family support.”

This Treatment Courts Month, we honor the partnerships that help individuals rebuild and communities grow stronger.

Farewell, Timothy! The Judiciary extends its appreciation to Timothy Rabago for his five years of dedication, service, and commitment to helping Drug Court participants on their recovery journeys.
