Veteran Court Support

Collaborative Approach

Veteran Drug Court success depends on collaboration among legal, clinical, and community partners. The Pink Berets works with judges, attorneys, corrections, service providers, and VA stakeholders to deliver coordinated, veteran-specific care.

Clinical Assesment

Each veteran undergoes a remote ASAM assessment to determine their clinical needs and appropriate level of care. This evaluation shapes a personalized treatment plan aligned with legal obligations.

Treatment Sustainability

Following assessment, a formal report is submitted to the court. A shared decision is made on program admission, incorporating court conditions into the veteran’s care plan.

VA Coordination

Using the VA’s HSRM system, The Pink Berets initiates referrals through the veteran’s VA provider. Transfer timelines vary depending on VA responsiveness.

Veteran Transfer

Travel is arranged and funded by The Pink Berets. Upon arrival, a staff member escorts the veteran to the facility.

Intake & Orientation

Veterans are welcomed, assigned private rooms, and introduced to their lead therapist. Orientation includes treatment schedules, responsibilities, and program expectations.

Progress Reporting

Clinical teams monitor progress through regular evaluations. Monthly reports are sent to the court summarizing treatment intensity, compliance, and clinical updates.

Discharge Planning

Discharge planning begins on Day 1, addressing health, housing, employment, follow-up care, and court appearances. Reintegration support includes family engagement and stability planning.

Family Engagement

Staff work with families throughout treatment to resolve interpersonal, financial, and communication issues to support long-term recovery and reintegration.
