About Dekalb County Magistrate Court

The Misdemeanor Mental Health Court (MMHC), formerly the Diversion Treatment Court, is the longest-running mental health court of its kind in Georgia. Established in 2001 as a pre-plea diversion program, the MMHC is currently a pre-plea and post-plea state-certified accountability court. In the MMHC program, defendants agree to comply with a case management plan that includes a treatment plan design to meet their individual needs. The treatment plan is developed by the court's social worker, reviewed and discussed with the team and approved by the judge.
