15th Judicial District Adult Drug Court F.I.S.T "Focused Intervention through Sanctions and Treatment"

The mission of the 15th Judicial District FIST Therapeutic Drug Court Program is to get the offender sober, employable, and employed by reducing offender abuse related criminal activity.

What is a Drug Court?

A drug is a special court designed to handle cases involving less serious drug-using offenders through a supervision and treatment program.

The program includes frequent drug testing, case management, intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment, educational opportunities, judicial supervision and incremental rewards, and punishment.

The judge is actively involved in supervising drug court offenders - more than just placing an individual in a probationary or diversionary program for drug treatment.

At any time during your participation, you can be terminated from the program by the Drug Court Judge for not complying with the rules and treatment plan, which may result in imprisonment.
