Adult Drug Courts are specialized court dockets that are specifically for adults with substance use disorders. Rather than receiving a jail sentence, these programs offer participants the opportunity to receive individualized long-term substance use treatment. In addition to treatment, participants can receive full-team support around education, housing, and job assistance. Adult Drug Courts are cost-effective, reduce recidivism, and create healthier communities.
