Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention
Description
The U. S. Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation are collaborating to enhance the capacity of states, state and local courts, units of local government, and Indian tribal governments to serve substance-abusing juvenile offenders by developing and establishing juvenile drug courts conjointly with the Reclaiming Futures program model.
The juvenile drug court is a community-based approach that builds community partnerships and enhances the capacity of the partners to assist in rehabilitating substance-abusing youth through an innovative, integrated approach that reflects the community’s norms, values, resources, and needs. The Reclaiming Futures model has been effective in combining community system reforms, treatment improvement and community engagement to help youth break the cycle of drugs and crime.
The merger of the drug court and Reclaiming Futures program models will enhance the capacity of communities to provide intervention, treatment, and structure to young people whose lives have begun a downward spiral of substance abuse and delinquent activity.
This solicitation invites communities to propose the implementation of a juvenile drug court program, using best practices in substance abuse treatment, along with the Reclaiming Futures program model.
