While the majority of the drug courts mentioned refer to adult drug courts, juvenile ones are also being implemented. As with the adult, juvenile have restrictions upon who has access to them and if/when they can be used. Also known as a family court, the juvenile drug court focuses upon the delinquent’s substance abuse offenses. Since they are also known as family courts, it makes sense that they can provide immediate treatment and or intervention for the delinquent, and his or her family. Not only immediately, the court can order continuous treatment/intervention until they are satisfyingly helped. According to Freeman-Wilson, Lieupo & Weinstein (2004) “Successful outcomes in both treatment and drug court clearly are influenced by the length of tie in treatment. The duration of the drug court program should coincide with the duration of the treatment program and at a minimum last for one year (p26).” Not unusual that since it has been shown before to increase the rate of success with the longer one goes through any type of treatment. A study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) found that “treatment for up to 18 months in residential settings, or almost 14 months in outpatient non-methadone treatment, yielded the greatest reduction in illicit drug use.” (Join Together Online, 2003) Further proof that there is a relationship, if not correlation between the amount of time you spend in rehabilitation and success in the treatment.
