Drug Court Training and Technical Assistance

 

The Administration supports a combined public health and public safety approach to reducing drug use and its consequences. The National Drug Control Strategy recognizes that for individuals who come into contact with the justice system, substance use disorders must be identified and treated as early in the justice process as possible, and no one should be incarcerated for a non-violent drug offense alone. Drug courts and other evidence-based diversion programs are key to the success of this approach. The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) will award one or more cooperative agreements to establish training, technical assistance, and other resources to advance criminal justice reforms, including drug courts that respond to the needs of justice-involved individuals with substance use disorders.
