The U.S Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (OJP) has developed a two-page flyer that provides an overview of drug court and other problem solving court program models. Drug courts are specialized court-docket programs that target defendants and offenders (adults and juveniles), as well as parents with pending child welfare cases who have alcohol and other drug dependency problems.
The overview document contains various resources and training and technical assistance opportunities regarding drug court programs. The document is regularly updated by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, and the National Institute of Justice.
