Expansion of Horry County Drug Court and creation of Georgetown County Drug Court.

The Enhancing Adult Drug Court Services, Coordination, and Treatment Grant Program is designed to assist states, state courts, local courts, counties, other units of local government, or Indian tribal governments to implement comprehensive strategies for enhancing drug court capacity by bridging access to both criminal justice and substance abuse treatment funds. The program supports the development and establishment of drug courts for substance-abusing adults and that enhance drug court services, coordination, and substance abuse treatment and recovery support services. Drug court programs funded by the Enhancing Adult Drug Court Services, Coordination, and Treatment Grant Program are required by law to target nonviolent criminal offenders.

The 15th Circuit Solicitor's Office will use the enhancing adult drug court services, coordination, and treatment grant funds to hire a new treatment provider and evaluator which will allow more clients to be treated in the Horry and Georgetown County Drug Court Programs. Funds will also be used to assist with sober-living facilities for new participants as well as medical screening and assistance with mental health treatment for clients with co-occurring disorders.
