A treatment court for military veterans is on the horizon in Catawba County.
The new treatment court will begin in January 2021 and provide assistance to veterans who have contact with the court system in Catawba County when a 10th judge is added for the judicial district.
The court also will be offered at no expense to taxpayers. All parties involved are volunteering time to make the program work.
The treatment court will be just the fifth in North Carolina, joining Buncombe, Cumberland, Forsyth and Harnett counties in providing such assistance to veterans who have cases in the court system.
