Does anyone know about Drug Court in the state of Missouri?
Drug Courts are treatment-based alternatives to prison, youth services facilities and detention centers, jails, and standard probation models. The criminal justice system works cooperatively with treatment and other systems to provide an offender with all the possible tools necessary to get into recovery, stay in recovery, and lead a productive, crime-free life. The drug court system takes action to help the person change their life in order to stop criminal activity instead of focusing only on punishment of the offender. Drug courts can be used for a variety of case types and molded to fit the needs and acceptability of each community. The most metropolitan and the most rural areas of the state have drug court programs.
