Grants to Expand Substance Use Disorder Treatment Capacity in Adult and Family Treatment Drug Courts (361584) FORECAST

The Grants to Expand Substance Use Disorder Treatment Capacity in Adult and Family Treatment Drug Courts aims to enhance SUD treatment services within drug courts. This initiative encourages a collaborative approach involving legal and health professionals to effectively address substance use issues. By focusing on evidence-based treatment methods, the program seeks to break the cycle of criminal behavior and promote recovery, ultimately improving outcomes for individuals and communities affected by substance use disorders.

The purpose of this program is to expand substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery support services in existing drug courts. Grant recipients will be required to implement a coordinated, multisystem approach that combines the legal authority of treatment drug courts with evidence-based SUD treatment services. Key stakeholders include the judiciary, prosecution, defense attorneys, probation services, law enforcement, mental health professionals, social service agencies, and treatment providers. The objective is to disrupt the recurring pattern of criminal behavior, substance use, and incarceration or other legal consequences.
