Sarasota County Drug Court is a specialized court system in Sarasota, FL that offers an alternative approach to dealing with drug-related crimes. Established in response to the rise in drug-related offenses in the 1980s, the court provides close direct judicial supervision and combines traditional treatment interventions with regular appearances before the Drug Court Judge.
Defendants, referred to as clients, not only receive typical treatment interventions such as group therapy, education, and counseling, but also benefit from the unique aspect of appearing before the Drug Court Judge on a regular basis. This innovative approach aims to break the cycle between drugs and crime by providing comprehensive support and accountability to individuals struggling with substance abuse issues.
