Caroline County has officially declared May 2025 as National Treatment Court Month, highlighting the critical role of problem-solving courts in addressing substance abuse and mental health issues. The proclamation, made by the county commissioners, emphasizes the ongoing societal challenge of substance abuse and the importance of community collaboration in combating it.

The Caroline County problem-solving court is recognized for its comprehensive approach, combining judicial supervision with mandatory treatment, drug testing, and community support. This program aims to break the cycle of addiction and related criminal behavior, showcasing a commitment to rehabilitation rather than punishment.

Commissioners urged residents to acknowledge the efforts of practitioners and participants who contribute to the success of the problem-solving court. This initiative, now in its third year since its revamp, continues to make significant strides in reducing drug use and promoting public safety.

The proclamation serves as a call to action for the community to support these vital programs and recognize their impact on improving lives and fostering a healthier society.
