New Court Would Help Addicted Veterans
Excerpt:
Throughout the country, new courts are popping up to serve a special population – war veterans who’ve gotten in trouble with the law because of drug or alcohol problems. The new veterans’ courts operate much like drug courts. Offenders can avoid going to jail or prison if they successfully complete rehab. As WUWM’s Erin Toner reports, efforts are underway to set up a Veterans Treatment Court in Milwaukee County.

Excerpt:
For some soldiers, the transition from a war zone to civilian life can be difficult. And, experts say some veterans need help dealing with what they went through.
"Some of the combat experiences -- for example, when they're exposed to constant explosions, being shot at, the fear of their lives,” said Clif Sorenson, Veterans’ Service Officer for Eau Claire County.
Sorenson says the new treatment court could help vets overcome the mental scars of war – like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injuries.
