Family Recovery Court

The Snohomish County Family Recovery Court (FRC) mission is to provide therapeutic and legal services for families affected by substance use disorder and involved with a family dependency process. Our program adheres to best practices and our approach is guided by compassion, accountability, and equity.

Our vision is to reunite families by providing therapeutic services encompassing a parent’s mental, physical, and social wellbeing for sustainable sobriety and foundation for families to thrive.


FRC is a voluntarily program in which parents may choose to participate for recommended treatment services, individualized case management for their family, and scheduled court hearings.   Through the four stages of FRC, the parent and team will co-develop goals to support family reunification, parent recovery, and individual goals (education, employment, housing, connection to community, and life skills).    The FRC team and parents work together on building a foundation to reconnect families and build community connection.
