DRUG COURT

The Orleans Parish Juvenile Drug Court Program is a treatment–a centered system that assists juveniles with substance abuse problems and their families in leading productive, substance e-free and crime-free lives. The program offers intensive rehabilitative services in a structured and supportive environment. 

The Orleans Parish Juvenile Drug Court Program provides individualized substance abuse treatment, in-home individual and family counseling services, and intensive supervision. The program is a collaborative effort (Office of the District Attorney, The Orleans Parish Office of Indigent Defenders, The Orleans Parish Probation Office, The Orleans Parish School Board, area treatment providers, and other community-based agencies) designed to promote public safety and reduce juvenile substance abuse. The Orleans Parish Drug Court program is committed to keeping youth with their families whenever possible. In some instances where the juvenile is experiencing physical withdrawal symptoms, in-patient treatment will be ordered.

The Orleans Parish Drug Court Program is an 18 to 24-month program inclusive of 12 months of aftercare and monitoring.
