Introduction The concept, principle and practice of Drug Court across the United States provide a paradigm shift from the traditional process of imposing penalties and jail sentences on offenders. More studies have proven the effectiveness of drug courts in reducing offender recidivism and also in reducing the costs of maintaining penal institutions for offenders. The popularity of drug courts has been primarily due to reports by studies and researchers that there have been reductions in recidivism by offenders. Empirical evidence points to the successes of drug courts across many counties in the United States. Judges play a significant role in the implementation of drug courts, while offenders are also held accountable for their actions in following the programs and sanctions imposed upon them. Offenders have to comply with the rules and processes of the Drug Court. Offenders have a strong incentive in being members of the Drug Court in that they have the prospect of avoiding being in jail for as long as they abide by the rules and cooperate in the success of the program. The Drug Court serves as a program to divert offenders from the traditional way of incarceration or being admitted in a correctional facility. (Goldkamp qtd. in Sanford and Arrigo 251) The Drug Court System has also been used in administering juvenile justice. In a study by the Department of Justice, it was found that in 1999, juvenile offenders accounted for 11% of drug use offenders (U.S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 2001 qtd. in Sanford and Arrigo 251). Juvenile drug courts have also been introduced in line with the concept of adult drug courts due to the increasing successes of drug courts. Empirical evidence also shows significant successes of juvenile drug courts. (Hiller et al. 1) Discussion Proposing a Drug Court is by the current number of drug addicts in the community. Currently, there are more drug addicts than it was 3-5 years ago when our children used to roam around the neighborhood without the parents having to think about them. Upon consultation with the various sectors and agencies involved in the criminal justice promotion, the following is a detailed plan of a Drug Court for the community. The Drug Court Management Team Members of the Drug Court Management Team have a big role to play in this practice. Their findings and inputs are the basis for the judge’s decision of the Drug Court and regarding the status of the offender. All in all, they shape the proceedings of the Drug Court program. The Drug Court Team will be composed of the prosecuting attorney and defense attorney, treatment providers who will come from the Community Rehabilitation Center, the probation officer, and the local law enforcement unit. (Huddleston and Marlowe 7) Duties and Responsibilities of the Drug Court   * With the Judge as Presiding Officer, the Drug Court shall hold regular status hearings, and this must be with the attendance of the prosecutor, defense counsel, treatment providers and other members of the Drug Court.   * During the first few months of the Drug Court, status hearings shall be done frequently, at least on a bi-weekly basis.   * Random drug testing shall also be done twice a week.
