Drug Court

Drug offenses are some of the most commonly pursued charges in the United States as a whole and in the State of Florida. Florida pioneered the concept of courts who handle drug offenses specifically in 1989. Presently, there are 95 such courts in operation in the state.

The Role of Drug Courts

Drug courts exist in order to lessen the strain on regular criminal courts and ensure that those charged with drug offenses can be provided with opportunities to reintegrate with society after they have served their sentence.

The goal of drug courts is to use the resources at their disposal to reduce recidivism rates among those convicted of drug offenses in Florida.
