Drug Courts
Drug Courts are specialized court programs designed to address the underlying issues of substance abuse among offenders. They aim to provide treatment and rehabilitation instead of traditional punitive measures, focusing on helping individuals recover and reintegrate into society.
Participants in Drug Courts typically undergo a structured program that includes regular drug testing, counseling, and court appearances. Successful completion can lead to reduced sentences or charges being dismissed, promoting accountability while encouraging positive lifestyle changes. This approach seeks to lower recidivism rates and improve public safety.
