The annual commemoration of National Drug Court Month in May raises awareness about the central role drug courts play in empowering youth and families to lead drug- and crime-free lives. OJJDP supports the courts’ very important mission. Between fiscal years 2017 and 2019 alone, the Office awarded $50 million to establish and enhance juvenile drug treatment courts, family drug courts, and tribal juvenile healing to wellness courts across the country.

Learn more about OJJDP's drug courts and how they have adapted their practices to continue serving youth and families during the COVID-19 pandemic.
