Drug Courts

Drug courts are specialized legal programs designed to help individuals struggling with substance abuse instead of solely punishing them for drug-related offenses. Participants, often facing legal issues, enter a structured program that includes therapy, counseling, and frequent drug testing. The goal is to support recovery and reduce repeat offenses. Drug courts aim to address the root problems of addiction while still holding individuals accountable. Successful completion can lead to reduced sentences or the dismissal of charges, promoting rehabilitation over incarceration and ultimately benefiting individuals and communities.
