The OJJDP Family Treatment Court Program seeks to build the capacity of local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized Tribal governments to establish new family treatment courts or enhance existing family treatment courts. These courts increase collaboration with substance use treatment and child welfare systems to ensure the provision of treatment and other services for families, and improve child, parent, and family outcomes. This solicitation was posted on April 8, 2022.

Join OJJDP for a webinar for this solicitation on May 9, 2022 11:00 - 12:30 PM EST.

As of December 31, 2020, a total of 3,848 treatment courts were in operation across the United States. The official 2020 count is available by state and court type for all US states and territories. These data were gathered by National Drug Court Resource Center (NDCRC) staff directly from state and territory coordinators between January and April 2021. They are also displayed on our interactive map of treatment courts. How many courts are in your state?

The NDCRC will attend RISE21, the annual conference for treatment court practitioners, public health and public safety professionals, hosted by NADCP.

Join us for networking, educational sessions, and visit the NDCRC table from August 14-18!  

Notice anything different on the NDCRC site? On your first visit after March 15, you'll be prompted to answer a survey about your experience using the website. If you close out of the pop-up without doing the survey, don't worry! After you're done working, you can still access the survey. This survey should only pop up on your first visit, so if you think of something later, you can still let us know. Thank you for helping us improve our website!

This survey closed May 19th, 2021.
