Drug Treatment Court is an intensive, highly structured program designed by The North Carolina Courts to identify and treat offenders whose criminal activities are generally related to substance abuse. The program places offenders in counseling and provides structure in that person’s life. Accountability is provided in part by a probation officer who checks on the person’s progress through home and office visits. In addition, the participant must attend periodic (typically biweekly) court sessions during which their treatment compliance and drug testing is monitored. Adult Drug Treatment Court’s mission is to break the cycle of drug addiction by offering the tools to stay clean. Those tools include, among other things, counseling, and housing, school and employment assistance.
