Addressing Need and Implementing Change in Rural Illinois: Adult Drug Court Serving Marshall, Putnam, and Stark Counties.

The purpose of this proposal is to create an adult drug court based in Marshall County, Illinois that serves residents of Marshall, Putnam, and Stark counties by offering treatment services; case management; probation supervision; incentives and sanctions; and recovery support services. The drug court will be pre-adjudication and post-adjudication and anticipates serving 35-55 participants over the life of the grant. Program length will be a minimum of 18 months and a maximum of 24 months, with the anticipated average of 20 months of program participation. A risk and needs assessment to determine eligibility will be conducted with the target population including those with moderate to-high and high risk and high needs. Each county has access to all types of medication-assisted treatment services and will look to expand current services and encourage medication-assisted treatment usage where appropriate.
