Drug Court - What is drug court?

Drug Court is an alternative to the regular docket in both adult and juvenile court. Offenders who have committed non-violent crimes related to drug abuse and addiction problems are eligible for this program. Drug Court utilizes the focused involvement of the Court, Probation, treatment providers, and others involved in the criminal justice system, to increase direct supervision of offenders, coordinate public resources, and expedite case processing. Through Drug Court, offenders are given the tools and support to make positive changes in their lives and break the cycle of alcohol and drug use, criminal behavior, and incarceration.
