RAISING THE BAR
IN FAMILY DRUG COURTS
PHIL BREITENBUCHER, MSW
FDC PROJECT DIRECTOR, CHILDREN AND FAMILY FUTURES
10
The Birth of the FDC Movement
First FDCs convened in
Reno, Nevada
and Pensacola, Florida in
1994 -1995
11
The Adoption and Safe
Families Act of 1997 set
forth goals of improving safety
and permanency for children.
Drug Treatment
Court
Child Welfare
Common Vision, Extraordinary Effort
3
Systems with multiple:
• Mandates
• Training
• Values
• Timing
• Methods
13
2003National Center on Substance Abuse
and Child Welfare published
Framework and Policy Tools for
Improving Linkages Between Alcohol and
Drug Services, Child Welfare Services
and Dependency Courts
2004OJJDP published Family Dependency
Treatment Courts: Addressing Child
Abuse and Neglect Cases Using the
Drug Court Model
NDCI - Family Dependency Treatment
Court Planning Initiative
• CFF with support from OJJDP, in partnership with
Federal and State stakeholders
• Based on research, previous publications, practice-based
evidence, expert advisers and existing State standards
• Resource tool for States and local courts; many have yet
to develop standards
• Adopt a systems perspective to create systems changes
and lasting impact
A Systems Perspective
16
• States first created FDCs in 1995; more than
300 FDCs are in operation today.
• Significant training and technical assistance over
the past 18 years
• Most states have not created Guidelines or
Standards specifically for FDCs
• Opportunity to address the needs and strengths
of the entire family
Guidance to States:
The Need for National FDC Guidelines
17
• Supported by evidence from research conducted in an
FDC setting
• Supported by evidence from research conducted in non-
FDC settings (CWS, AOD, Adult Drug Courts)
• Common in FDCs but are supported by little or no
evidence; research and evaluation is needed to determine
effectiveness
Research – 3 Categories
19
• A collaboration by a diverse group of subject matter experts
from across the country
• Expertise in the same disciplines as FDC teams:
• Substance abuse treatment and other services
• Child welfare
• Courts
• Quantitative and qualitative review by CFF of:
• 13 source documents that included state standards and
guidelines
• 32 individual FDC research articles and evaluations
• Review by a broader group of stakeholders, including State
Drug Court Coordinators
Guidance to States:
The Process of Developing Recommendations
20
Q Is there a reason why these are “practice guidelines” vs.
“standards” as now used by adult drug courts? How are
these guidelines aligned with the 10 Key Components
and the ADC standards? Where is there overlap?
Where do they depart? 21
Practice Guidelines vs. Key Components vs.
Best Practice Standards
Guidelines and Components
• Provide specific recommendations or benchmarks
• Parameters for developing effective drug court programs in different
and unique jurisdictions and contexts
• Offered when field is still developing and evolving
• Guidelines are designed to first be a tool for states to develop
standards
• Guidelines speaks to what the research says (and doesn’t say)
Best Practice Standards
• Provide a certification or regulatory checklist
• Codify policies, procedures, and operations
• Based on established research
• Offered when field has matured 22
