Southwest Virginia Regional Drug Court Initiative

The Joint Adult Drug Court Services, Coordination, and Treatment Grant Program is designed to assist states, state courts, local courts, counties, other units of local government, and 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 enhancement of court services and capacity, coordination, and evidence-based substance abuse treatment and recovery support services of adult drug courts. Drug court programs funded by the Joint Adult Drug Court Services, Coordination, and Treatment Grant Program are required by law to target nonviolent criminal offenders.

The grant recipient will use the grant funds to: establish new services for populations not currently being served in the drug court; enhance court operations by providing training programs for drug court practitioners, evaluating drug court programs, or implementing performance management or automated management information systems; expand court services in areas such as offender management, including drug testing, case management, and community supervision; and improve the quality or intensity of services such as healthcare and mental health care, education, vocational training, job training and placement, housing placement assistance, and childcare or other family support services for each participant who requires such services.
