San Mateo Court Helps Vets Struggling With Addictions
Since July 2012, San Mateo County's Veteran's Treatment Court has been providing additional support and treatment opportunities to convicted military veterans struggling with addictions. Veterans who successfully complete the program -- which takes about 18 months to three years -- can have their records expunged and fines forgiven.
