Pathways – the Journey to Restoration
The Pathways Program was created by the Augusta County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office to provide individuals with an alternative to criminal prosecution when possible. Individuals are given the opportunity to enter treatment for substance abuse and/or mental health issues instead of facing criminal charges.
Individuals who qualify for the program, and successfully complete the recommended services, will not face criminal prosecution.
