Adult Drug Court Planning Initiative (DCPI)

The The National Association of Drug Court Professionals/National Drug Court Institute (NDCI) will implement the Bureau of Justice Assistance's (BJA) Adult Drug Court Planning and Training Program to support the Adult Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program (42 U.S.C. 3797u et seq.). The Adult Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program assists communities to develop effective drug court strategies for nonviolent substance-abusing offenders through two components. The first component, the Adult Drug Court Planning Initiative, assists jurisdictions in the planning and development of new drug court programs through a standardized core curriculum based on adult learning theory and the 10 key components of a drug court. The second component, the Adult Drug Court Training Initiative, offers a menu of training options that can be accessed and incorporated into local, regional and, statewide drug court training events for improved drug court team functioning, and more effective services and better outcomes for drug court participants.

NDCI will implement and manage the Adult Drug Court Planning Initiative (DCPI) Training Program. Adult DCPI provides a state-of-the-art and evidence-based training program to BJA approved jurisdictional teams committed to planning a local Drug Court. The programconsists of a standardized and proven core curriculum based on innovative adult learning theory and the NDCP Adult Drug Court Planning Process which is grounded in the OJP/NADCP 10 Key Components of Drug Court.
