The Program supports the following activities: Juvenile drug court implementation, Family drug court implementation, Single jurisdiction drug court enhancement, Statewide drug court enhancement, and planning efforts. The Montana Supreme Court will maintain continuity in the Yellowstone County Family Drug Treatment Court by holding staffing and court weekly.
