Dependency Drug Courts
Background
Dependency drug courts, like other problem-solving courts, 通过专门的摘要解决司法系统介入的根本原因, multidisciplinary teams, and a nonadversarial approach. Offering evidence-based treatment, judicial supervision, and accountability, 解决问题法庭为参与者提供个性化干预, 从而减少累犯，提高对司法系统程序的信心和满意度.
目前，佛罗里达州有13个吸毒法庭在运作. As in traditional dependency courts, dependency drug courts focus on promoting child safety, permanency, and well-being. They also align with principles found in adult drug court (i.e., early participant identification, substance use disorder treatment, services for co-occurring concerns, frequent drug and alcohol testing, the use of incentives and sanctions, 药物辅助治疗/阿片类药物使用障碍药物治疗). 药物依赖法庭解决了在传统依赖法庭中经常发现的及时性问题, 特别是允许参与者在接受早期药物使用治疗的同时与子女团聚.
According to the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, courts should establish the permanency of a child in foster care no later than 12 months after placement; however, 药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局不建议减少药物使用治疗，直到至少12个月过去. 这造成了一个困境，因为孩子的永久性结果是在父母可能准备减少或停止药物使用治疗之前实现的. However, because of the intensive services, increased family-time visitation, and more frequent court hearings, 研究表明，依赖药物法庭的参与者比传统依赖法庭的可比家庭有更好的结果.
Why Dependency Drug Court Matters
研究表明，60%到80%被证实的儿童虐待和忽视案件中，至少有一位监护父母患有药物使用障碍. Moreover, 2018年的一项研究得出结论，在佛罗里达州的一个幼儿法庭上，五年内有69%的儿童因父母使用药物而被寄养.
根据全国毒品法庭专业人员协会(NADCP), 与传统的依赖法庭相比，依赖药物法庭有以下积极成果:
- 家长完成药物滥用治疗项目的比例更高
- Lower number of days for children in out-of-home care
- Higher rates of family reunification
- Lower rates of termination of parental rights
- 较低的再虐待率(团聚后重新进入寄养中心)
- 较低的父母再犯率(如适用)
- 成本效益(每户可节省$ 5,000至$13,000)
一项类似的独立研究也发现，每200个案例平均可节省100万美元.
