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.
