Overview of BMVTC
Brooklyn Misdemeanor Veterans Treatment Court (BMVTC) offers substance abuse treatment as an alternative to incarceration for nonviolent felony drug offenders arrested in Brooklyn, New York. By offering court-monitored treatment, BMVTC strives to break the damaging and costly cycle of addiction, crime and incarceration.
The BMVTC Part is unique due to its specialized screening process, which affords a greater number of people the opportunity to receive drug treatment services through the criminal justice system. In addition, our enhanced screening process has sparked specialized programming for the adolescent population. Our case managers ensure that all participants, particularly our adolescents, receive the appropriate treatment services that are matched to both age and specific developmental treatment needs.
