Berks County Treatment Court Expansion and Enhancement Project

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.
Berks County will use the enhancing adult drug court services, coordination, and treatment grant to support an automated management information system to complete a drug court process and outcome evaluation. The county will also expand the drug court program's client capacity as well as treatment services for their court. CA/NCF
