Senate Resolution No. recognizes May 2025 as Treatment Court Month, highlighting the significant role treatment courts play in justice reform across the nation. These courts are credited with restoring the lives of over 1.5 million individuals through nearly 4,000 programs nationwide, including those in Michigan. They have proven to be the most effective intervention in the justice system's history, leading to improved outcomes in substance use disorder treatment, reduced addiction and crime rates, and substantial cost savings of approximately $6,000 per individual served.

The resolution emphasizes the collaborative nature of treatment courts, which unite various stakeholders such as judges, attorneys, law enforcement, and treatment professionals to foster community healing. By enhancing public safety, education, and family stability, treatment courts contribute to a healthier society, demonstrating that the recovery of one individual positively impacts the entire community. The Senate adopted this resolution on May 21, 2025, affirming the importance of recognizing and supporting treatment courts.
