DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – The National Treatment Court Institute has selected the Duluth Recovery Court as one of ten Mentor Courts in the country.
The designation is given to exemplary adult treatment courts and the Duluth Recovery Court will now advise new and existing courts through virtual and in-person visits.
Treatment courts focus on rehabilitation of offenders and assist those whose criminal acts were driven by substance abuse, mental illness or a combination of the two.
South St. Louis County Recovery Court Judge Jill Eichenwald says the honor reflects the hard work and dedication of the community and justice partners in Duluth.
In the Arrowhead region, the 6th Judicial District serves eight treatment courts in four counties.
