Total FY 2015 state funding for drug courts is
$4,972,900. Drug court funding is distributed by a multi-step formula process.
Drug court programs in Utah are established and governed in statute found at
UCA 78A-5-201.
The drug court program offers drug-dependent individuals
intensive court-supervised drug treatment as an alternative to going to jail or
prison. The drug court program is carried out through a team consisting
primarily of legal, treatment, and law enforcement professionals. Successful completion
of the drug court program can result in actions such as dropped charges,
vacated or reduced sentences, or family reunification.
