What is QMTC

QMTC is a special courtroom in the Queens Criminal Court. It is a program for first time non-felony offenders arrested in Queens, who face non-felony drug charges and who also abuse drugs. Instead of jail or probation, QMTC will help you enter and stay in a drug or alcohol treatment program. The QMTC program includes regular court appearances and supervision by the QMTC judge.

The amount of time you spend in QMTC will depend on the crime you were originally charged with, your criminal history, your plea and your individual progress in treatment. Most people will spend anywhere from one to two years in the QMTC program.
