The Program supports the following activities: Adult drug court implementation, Juvenile drug court implementation, Family drug court implementation, Single jurisdiction drug court enhancement, Statewide drug court enhancement, and planning efforts. The Unified Government of Wyandotte County Kansas City will use FY 2004 Drug Court Program funds to establish a new Juvenile Drug Court.

The Juvenile Drug Court is designed to accept referrals for offenders on post-adjudication status.
