Presiding Judge Goble and Court Coordinator Lindsey Chantler implemented Montgomery County VTC in July 2012.

In five years, VTC has graduated 130 veterans and active duty soldiers from the minimum 11-month treatment program.

Veterans and soldiers who enroll in VTC have been involved in the criminal justice system due to a substance abuse problem or mental health issues frequently related to underlying issues such as Post-Traumatic Brain Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) associated with military service.
