Goals

The goal of programs funded under the OJJDP FY 2022 Family Treatment Court Program is to establish new family drug courts and enhance existing family drug courts to more effectively intervene with parents, children, and families affected by substance use and/or co-occurring mental health disorder who are involved in the child welfare system as a result of child abuse and neglect or other parenting issues.

Objectives

The objective is to provide treatment and accountability to parents with substance use disorders by offering access to treatment and recovery services that will ultimately protect children; reunite families, when safe to do so; and expedite permanency. Programs must include the provision of treatment and recovery services to specifically address opioid, stimulant, and other substance use disorders.
