W.Va. counties to launch 5 drug courts

Associated Press

CHARLESTON Five new drug courts that will handle nonviolent offenders are scheduled to open across West Virginia this year.

The new programs will serve Greenbrier and Pocahontas counties, and Kanawha, Cabell, Monongalia and Preston counties.

Linda Richmond Artimez with the state Supreme Court says drug courts typically require nonviolent offenders to undergo treatment and be supervised for at least a year or 18 months.

Artimez says the goal is to place drug offenders in a structured environment that gives them an opportunity to change their lives.

West Virginia’s first drug court opened in the Northern Panhandle in 2005. Another launched in November serves Boone, Lincoln and Logan counties.
