Arkansas Drug Courts
Program Eligibility Requirements, Treatment Requirements and
Enrollment Statistics from July 2005 through December 2006
Overview of Drug Court Program
MissionThe mission of a drug court program is to provide an alternative to incarceration for persons convicted of alcohol or other drug related charges as well as for persons whose substance use was a factor in the commission of a crime (e.g. crime was committed while under the influence or to maintain drug use). Research has shown a high causative relationship between substance use and criminal activity. The premise of drug court treatment is that eliminating substance use will greatly reduce the illegal acts committed by affected persons and therefore have a major impact on reducing the incidence of criminality.
Program DescriptionThe drug court program operates in a free world setting that, at first look, would not be different from any other office or clinical setting. The facility can be located within a probation/parole office, or an outpatient clinic, or any other properly zoned and licensed property. Ease of access is a primary consideration and most programs are found in downtown or commercial settings. Hours of operation are structured to allow offenders to receive treatment during the early evenings or even on weekends. Non-traditional hours allow offenders to receive treatment and maintain employment.
Program staff generally consists of counselors with substance abuse specialization. Correctional staffs, such as probation/parole officers and social workers, are also part of the treatment team. Other specialized staff is used as appropriate for the needs of the offenders. Individual and group counseling is required. Treatment staff is familiar with community resources and refer offenders to such services as necessary. A heavy emphasis is placed on the offenders' involvement in 12-step or self help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
Many drug court outpatient programs consist of tiers or phases. As the offender progresses through the different levels, the intensity of treatment and expectations of behavior changes.
Overview of Drug Court Program
Expectations of Offender BehaviorWhile in outpatient treatment, requirements are placed on the offenders. Progression through treatment and the successful completion of treatment are dependent on the offender complying with various requirements or expectations.
• No use of alcohol or other drugs as evidenced by negative drug screens.• Absence of criminal behavior.• Gainful employment and/or enrollment in education/vocational training
programs.• Maintaining treatment contacts.• Involvement in 12-Step or other self help groups.• Other requirements as appropriate.
Expected Benefits• Reduction in the demand for residential incarceration would free up prison
beds for more serious offenders. • Outpatient drug court programs are less intensive and require fewer security
considerations. Since the outpatient units can be established in less secure facilities, such as traditional office/clinical settings, there is a reduction in costs associated with high security, twenty-four hour operations.
• Since the outpatient treatment requires that offenders maintain productive employment, offenders are revenue generators rather than revenue users.
• Drug court treatment places a heavy emphasis on the offender using community based resources rather than services provided by the correctional system. This promotes the offender to learn how to function in an open society.
• Offenders are motivated to affect positive life changes through rewards ranging from the elimination of incarceration to the "sealing" of the criminal history.
