SERVICES:
Superior Court is a trial court of general jurisdiction. The court has exclusive, constitutional authority over felony cases, prosecuted by the District Attorney’s Office, cases regarding title to land, divorce, and equity, declaratory judgments, habeas corpus, mandamus, quo warranto and probation, and adoptions. Except for certain probate or juvenile matters, this court may exercise jurisdiction over other cases concurrently with the limited jurisdiction courts. This court is authorized to correct errors made by lower courts by issuing certiorari and, for some lower courts, the right to direct review by the court applies. Oversees Tallapoosa Circuit Drug Intervention Program, designed to offer sentencing alternatives to offenders whose offenses are related to their addictions. This program serves a limited number of defendants and is therefore very select in choosing participants.

∙ The Drug Intervention Program is a 12 month program based on education, treatment, and life-style changes.
∙ Participants are required to attend meetings five nights per week for the first 16 weeks. ∙ This includes group
counseling sessions 3 nights per week from 6:00 – 8:00 pm and 2 ∙ 12-Step type meetings per week.
∙ Participants are also required to drug test a minimum of three times weekly and randomly as required.
∙ Requirements are lessened as the participant achieves clean time and demonstrates success in other areas.
∙ Participants will undergo a suspended sentence upon entering the Drug Intervention Program.
∙ Failure to comply with the rules of the Drug Intervention Program may result in jail time, community service, halfway house referrals, or termination from the program.

Upon termination from the program for failure to comply, clients will begin serving their original sentence.
