Therapeutic Courts help turn lives around by offering an alternative to incarceration

Each of the Thurston County therapeutic court programs has a rigorous curriculum that participants must accomplish before graduating. Participants’ progress is guided, monitored, and measured throughout the course of the 1-2 year program. In order to succeed, they are frequently required to pass regular drug and alcohol tests. The programs are supported by an incredible team of attorneys, mentors, counselors, and judges who stick with participants and offer them support through their journey.

If successful, participants graduate sober, with a clean criminal record and a new lease on life.

Current Thurston County therapeutic court funding does not meet the needs of all participants to complete the program successfully.

Most of the program costs of Therapeutic Courts are funded through the Thurston County Treatment Sales Tax, but the funds do not meet the needs of all participants to complete the program successfully.

Court program directors have found that these financial gaps can easily become barriers that threaten participants’ success. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The cost of required treatment programs

  • Transportation to mandated hearings

  • Required clothing and equipment for work

  • Acceptable attire for work or job interviews

  • Simple incentives to keep up participants’ morale during the program

The Strophy Foundation covers many of these costs and serves to bridge the gaps to successful graduation and life-changing decisions.
