What will happen to my current charges if I enter Treatment Court?

In order to be accepted into Treatment Court you must enter a guilty plea to your current charges. Sentencing will be deferred until your graduation or termination from the program. If you successfully reach graduation, then your charges will be dismissed. If you remain crime and drug free during your post-graduation tracking period of 1 to 3 years then you may petition the Court to have your charges expunged (removed from your record). If you fail to comply with the program rules to the point of termination, then your guilty plea will be accepted by the Court, and you will be sentenced on your charges.
