Juvenile drug use

OJJDP recently launched the Opioid Affected Youth Initiative (OAYI) website. OAYI helps nationwide project sites to develop data-driven and coordinated responses to opioid abuse and other substance use disorders affecting youth, families, and communities.

The Juvenile Justice Emergency Planning Demonstration Program works to ensure that state and local juvenile justice agencies and all residential treatment, correctional, and detention facilities that house children are adequately prepared for disasters.

The Juvenile Drug Treatment Court (JDTC) Training and Technical Assistance Program (TTAC) provides TTA to new and operational JDTCs to help them implement, monitor, and sustain effective practices for juveniles and their families.
