DRUG COURT & DIVERSION

West Virginia Drug Courts and Pretrial Diversion

West Virginia drug court programs operate across the state, including in Monongalia, Kanawha, Cabell, Wood, and Berkeley counties. These programs offer eligible defendants a structured path to treatment instead of incarceration, supervised by the court with regular hearings, drug testing, and compliance monitoring.

For pretrial diversion cases, JWHope provides the clinical documentation and recovery planning that attorneys and prosecutors need to pursue diversion before charges are formally filed, giving defendants the best possible chance of avoiding a conviction entirely.

JWHope works alongside WV drug court programs and pretrial diversion coordinators from initial assessment through program completion, providing the clinical structure courts need to implement evidence-based alternatives with confidence.
