Family and Juvenile Treatment Drug Courts: The purpose of Family and Juvenile Treatment Drug Courts grants is to provide funds to be used by treatment providers and the courts to provide alcohol and drug treatment, wrap-around services supporting substance abuse treatment, assessment, case management, and program coordination to those in need of treatment drug court services. Priority for the use of the funding should be given to addressing gaps in the continuum of treatment. Grantees will be expected to provide a coordinated, multi-system approach designed to combine the sanctioning power of courts with effective treatment services to break the cycle of child abuse/neglect or criminal behavior, alcohol and/or drug use, and incarceration or other penalties. Drug courts use regular appearances of the client before a judge who is part of, or guided by, a team of all relevant professionals. Family treatment drug courts provide services to parents who have been charged with child abuse and/or neglect, and also to the children and other important family members. Juvenile treatment drug courts provide services to juveniles who are found delinquent, and can also provide services to the parents, siblings, and other important family members. For the purposes of this program, juvenile treatment drug courts may include those courts that deal with juveniles in pre-adjudicated or adjudicated status, or under post-detention judicial supervision (such as Reentry drug courts). Approximately $3.15 million will be available for about 8 awards for family treatment drug courts, and approximately $3.15 million available for about 8 awards for juvenile treatment drug courts.
