A new program will kick off today in Indiana County Court for a new treatment-driven initiative to help with substance abuse disorder.
The State Attorney General will join county court officials for the Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative, or LETI Program. Indiana County District Attorney Bob Manzi says this program will help people get the treatment they need before they go into the criminal justice system.
The county has been doing two phases of the four-phase program, including drug court and and a diversion program at the district court level. The programs that will be added will happen prior to arrests or police encounters to guide people to treatment in early intervention programs.
Manzi called it a very important program.
A kickoff ceremony for the program will be at 11:00 today.
