The Fulton County DUI Treatment Court is celebrating its 15th anniversary.

Since 2007, the program has been a part of a dual partnership between the Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities and the Fulton County State Court.

The DUI Treatment Court Program is a post-conviction treatment program for those who have multiple violations of driving while under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicants.

The program is designed to provide a better quality of life by promoting sober living and healthier lifestyles for repeat offenders.
