About Smart Court:
The Springfield Municipal Adult Recovery and Treatment Court was established in November 2023, with operations beginning in January 2024. This program’s intent is to capitalize on the decades of specialty court research to provide comprehensive treatment for individuals in our criminal justice system. This program is supported by grants from the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
The Springfield Municipal Adult Recovery and Treatment (SMART) Court works with community stakeholders to impact the cycle of substance use and/or co-occurring disorders and crime by providing a court supervised response to rehabilitate, educate, and promote a recovery lifestyle in order for participants to become productive and responsible members of the greater Springfield area. The Treatment Court team partners with Lane County Parole and Probation, Quality Research Associates, Emergence, Ideal Option, Springfield City Prosecutor, the public defender, and the Springfield Police Department to staff this program.
The Springfield Municipal Adult Recovery and Treatment Court (SMART) is a minimum 12-month program consisting of five (5) highly structured evidence-based phases. See https://allrise.org/ for further details. Involved participants are required to attend individual and group treatment sessions, submit to random drug testing, have frequent court appearances, and counseling as appropriate. Individuals must meet milestones to progress in phases and to graduate. At a minimum, in order to graduate individuals must be gainfully employed or in advanced schooling, have their GED or high school diploma, and have completed a give-back project in the community.
