Drugs

This program supports the implementation and delivery of mentoring services to youth who are currently abusing or addicted to drugs, youth at risk for abusing drugs, and youth with family members who are currently abusing or addicted to drugs.

The goal of programs funded under the OJJDP Family Drug Court Program is to establish new family drug courts, enhance existing family drug courts, provide services to veterans in family drug courts, or implement statewide or countywide family drug court practices to more effectively intervene with parents, children, and families affected by a substance use and/or co-occurring mental health disorder who are involved in the child welfare system as a result of child abuse and neglect or other parenting issues.
