What is MTC

MTC is a special courtroom in the Manhattan Criminal Court. It is a program for first time felony offenders arrested in Manhattan, prosecuted by the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor, who face felony drug charges and who also abuse drugs. Instead of jail or probation, MTC will help you enter and stay in a drug or alcohol treatment program. The MTC program includes regular court appearances and supervision by the MTC judge.

The amount of time you spend in MTC will depend on the crime you were originally charged with, your criminal history, your plea and your individual progress in treatment. Most people will spend anywhere from one to two years in the MTC program.
