Recovery Court

Taylor County Hybrid Recovery Court is dedicated to restoring lives and preserving families by providing intensive wrap around services, post-conviction, to individuals whose lives have been affected by drug or alcohol addiction. The Program focuses on empowering individuals to establish and maintain recovery while enhancing community safety. The Taylor County Recovery Court Team embraces a unique partnership of many key stakeholders in Taylor County that seek to rehabilitate addicted individuals.
