The Fulton County Accountability Court has been offering jail diversion services to individuals convicted of law violations since 1998. The mission of the Fulton County Accountability Court is to provide a court-supervised alternative sentencing program to those citizens facing a felony-level charge in Fulton County and who suffer substance abuse and mental health issues. The program includes enhanced supervision, as well as individual and group treatment sessions to help participants make positive lifestyle changes while gaining a deeper understanding of their disease or addiction. 

Treatment courts are widely recognized as the most effective method for reducing addiction, crime, and recidivism while also saving taxpayer dollars. The accountability court program includes a Drug Court, a Behavioral Health Treatment Court, and a Veterans Treatment Court.
