OJJDP FY 19 Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Program

This program will support jurisdictions that want to implement a juvenile drug treatment court or jurisdictions that want to enhance their assessment processes and their treatment models. Category 1: JDTC Planning is designed to educate an interdisciplinary team on how to effectively plan and implement a juvenile drug treatment court. Jurisdictions will be required to identify a team of professionals that includes the judge, the drug court coordinator, prosecutor, defense counsel, treatment provider, community supervision representative, law enforcement officer, and a researcher or evaluator. Category 2: JDTC Enhancements support existing JDTCs to enhance their court by implementing evidence-based assessment tools, models, and processes; evidence-based treatment models; and evidence-based case management practices.
