The Family Drug Court was
established in 2002 to address parents who have a history of drug
or alcohol abuse or addiction and who, because of the abuse/addiction
have lost custody or at risk of losing custody of their children.
Participants enter a three phase program and their progress is monitored
on a regular basis (depending on the phase) by the Court through a
therapeutic courtroom environment. The participation in the Family
Drug Court can assist parents in obtaining custody of their children
more quickly and ensure that the children are returned to safe, sober
and stable environments.
The Juvenile Drug Court
was established in 2005 to address youth who are on probation and
have had and are currently having issues with drug use. Youth attend
a weekend therapeutic court hearing where there are reports given
on the youth's progress in treatment. Youth receive incentives and
sanctions based on their progress.
