Drug Court

Drug Court is a specialized program within the District Court system designed to help individuals struggling with substance abuse issues rather than solely punish them for drug-related offenses. Participants undergo a structured program that includes treatment, counseling, and regular court appearances, allowing them to work towards rehabilitation. The goal is to reduce recidivism, promote recovery, and improve both individual lives and community safety. Successful completion can lead to reduced or dismissed charges, while relapse may result in traditional legal consequences. This approach focuses on addressing the root causes of addiction and encouraging long-term recovery.
