Overview
Welcome to Staten Island Treatment Court (SITC). The SITC Team joined together in 1999 to develop Staten Island Treatment Court, and we opened our doors in March 2002.
The SITC team takes pride in our commitment to serve eligible defendants, as we continually strive to seek a just resolution. Please browse our site and check out what our treatment court offers to both felony (SITCF) and misdemeanor (SITCM) offenders who are abusing drugs or alcohol.
Our Mission
The mission of the Staten Island Drug Treatment Court is to rehabilitate substance-abusing offenders in order to improve not only their quality of life but also that of the Staten Island community by breaking the cycle of crime associated with addiction. Through the mutual efforts of the judge, prosecutor, defense bar and treatment providers, the Drug Treatment Court will use its authority to address the addiction of eligible offenders in the following ways:
- seek appropriate treatment for each,
- monitor offenders while in treatment,
- impose graduated sanctions for non-compliance,
- grant rewards for compliance, and
- provide recognition to participants when they have successfully completed their programs.
