Senate Resolution No. recognizes May 2025 as Treatment Court Month, highlighting the significant role treatment courts play in justice reform across the nation. With nearly 4,000 treatment courts in operation, including those in Michigan, these programs have positively impacted the lives of over 1.5 million individuals by improving substance use disorder treatment outcomes, reducing addiction-related crime, and achieving 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 partnerships aimed at healing families and communities. By promoting public safety, education, employment, and family reunification, treatment courts demonstrate the broader societal benefits of helping individuals overcome substance use and crime, ultimately contributing to the well-being of the entire community.
