The Colquitt County Accountability Court (CCAC) team consists of a Superior Court Judge, the Program Director, an Assistant District Attorney, Assistant Public Defender, Probation Officer, treatment providers, and law enforcement representatives.  The Superior Court Judge oversees the team which works together to support and monitor a participant’s recovery.  Each member maintains a balance of authority, supervision, support and encouragement.
 
The CCAC program is flexible to ensure participants are provided access to the most appropriate treatment paths. Participants are legally and clinically screened by the team to determine intial eligibility and proper placement in treatment.    
 
CCAC is comprised of 5 phases and lasts an average of 20-27 months.  While in the program, participants are required to attend individual and group treatment sessions; submit to frequent random drug testing; home visits and curfew stipulations; and also appear before the Court twice each month.
