Grants to Expand Substance Use Disorder Treatment Capacity in Adult and Family Treatment Drug Courts

Substance Use Disorder Treatment in Drug Courts

This program funds expansion of evidence-based substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery support services within existing drug court systems. Drug courts leverage judicial authority alongside coordinated multisystem partnerships—spanning judiciary, prosecution, defense, probation, law enforcement, mental health, and treatment providers—to interrupt cycles of criminal behavior, substance use, and incarceration. The program targets implementation of integrated treatment approaches that address both legal accountability and clinical recovery needs, with the goal of reducing recidivism and supporting sustained abstinence or recovery.

The funding supports operational expansion of existing drug court infrastructure rather than creation of new courts, emphasizing evidence-based SUD interventions delivered through established judicial frameworks. Success depends on effective coordination across criminal justice and treatment systems to deliver comprehensive services to court-involved individuals with substance use disorders.
