Resources for Justice-Involved Veterans

Some veterans self-medicate with alcohol or drugs to manage wartime experiences. Unfortunately, some of these veterans become involved in the criminal justice system. This program will provide information about accessing resources for justice-involved veterans including benefits and eligibility, the Veterans Justice Outreach program, Veterans Court mentor program, civil legal services and treatment.
