The Barry County Drug Court is a special Court that processes selected felony cases involving non-violent, drug and alcohol using offenders. The Court’s goal is fourfold:

1. To decrease the incidence of OUIL offenses and resulting problems.

2. Reduce the number of individuals who are dependent on a substance.

3. Reduce the flow of associated criminal behavior and its impact on the individual, the family and the community.

4. Lower the County’s prison commitment rate by enrolling offenders who fall within the straddle cell guideline range.
