The Clark County Adult Drug Court anniversary tribute coincides with National Recovery Month. Started in 1989, National Recovery Month is a national observance held every September to promote and support new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices.
Adult Drug Court is a specialized sentencing alternative specifically designed to treat individuals suffering from substance use or co-occurring mental health disorders who are facing eligible felony criminal charges. This alternative to incarceration provides an opportunity for those enrolled in the program to live in the community and receive support and treatment services in a structured way.
The program consists of a prescribed set of required treatment sessions, recovery support services and meetings, skill-building classes, random drug testing, office or home visits and frequent court hearings. Treatment courts are typically a minimum of a year or longer and studies have shown that these programs refer more people to treatment than any other interventions in the United States — people stay in treatment long enough to make lasting internal changes.
Clark County Superior Court Adult Drug Court has had 781 graduates successfully complete the program since its inception in 1999.
