+successful justice system intervention
+in our nation’s history; and
+
+Whereas, More than 4,000 treatment courts nationwide,
+
+including Michigan’s 200 treatment
+courts, have restored the lives and families of more than 1.5 million
+individuals; and
+
+Whereas, Outcomes have shown significant improvements to substance
+use disorder treatment, substantially reduced addiction
+
+and related crime, and do so at less
+expense than any other
+
+criminal justice strategy with an
+average savings of $6,000
+
+for every individual they serve; and
+
+Whereas, Treatment courts facilitate community-wide
+partnerships, bringing together judges, prosecutors, defense
+
+attorneys, substance use disorder
+treatment and rehabilitation
+
+professionals, law enforcement and
+community supervision personnel,
+
+researchers and educators, national
+and community leaders, and
+
+others dedicated to drug courts and
+similar types of treatment
+
+programs which are healing families
+and communities across the country; and
+
+Whereas, Treatment courts improve public safety, education,
+
+employment, housing, financial
+stability, promote family reunification, reduce foster care placements, and
+increase the rate
+
+of mothers delivering babies who are
+drug-free; and
+
+Whereas, Treatment courts demonstrate that when one person
+
+rises out of substance use and crime,
+we all rise; now, therefore, be it
+
+Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of
+
+this legislative body declare May 2025
+as Treatment Court Month in
+
+the state of Michigan.
