The Manhattan Misdemeanor Treatment Court (MMTC) is a cooperative effort committed to breaking the cycle of the substance abuser’s escalating involvement with the Criminal Justice System. The Manhattan Misdemeanor Treatment Court uses the authority of the Court to introduce misdemeanor offenders to the benefits of substance abuse treatment and the desirability of leading a drug-free, law abiding life. It is our belief that this cooperative effort will reclaim the lives of those struggling with addiction and enhance our community by promoting sobriety and reducing recidivism.
