Once a Recovery Court application is filed, the State has the opportunity to indicate to the Court whether they consent to the applicant's entry into Recovery Court OR whether they object to the applicant's admission into Recovery Court.  If the State objects to entry into Recovery Court, it has to indicate in detail the reasons for the objection.  The defense then files a legal brief with the Court, arguing why the applicant is clinically eligible, legally eligible, and a good candidate for Recovery Court.  The parties then put forth oral argument on the issues before the Recovery Court judge in the Superior Court in the county where the criminal charges allegedly occurred.  It is then up to the Recovery Court judge to determine whether the applicant is a suitable candidate for Recovery Court, over the State's objection.
