The National Drug Court Institute

The National Drug Court Institute (NDCI) is an organization that supports specialized courts called drug courts, which focus on helping individuals with substance use issues. These courts aim to reduce drug dependency and related criminal behavior by providing treatment, supervision, and support instead of solely punishment. NDCI offers training, resources, and research to improve the effectiveness of drug courts across the country, promoting better outcomes for participants, public safety, and community health. Its goal is to ensure that drug courts operate efficiently and compassionately, addressing the underlying causes of substance abuse.
