Welcome to the Illinois Association of Drug Court Professionals!

 

THE 2010 ADULT DRUG COURT PLANNING INITIATIVE (DCPI) TRAINING APPLICATION IS OPEN!

Sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice, in collaboration with the National Drug Court Institute (NDCI) DCPI trainings are designed for communities interested in developing an adult Drug Court program. The training is designed to fulfill three interconnected goals:

1. Educate teams about the basic components of Drug Court;
2. Provide teams with the skills necessary for successfully making the shift from standard case processing to Drug Court case processing; and
3. Work with teams to build their program to integrate court and treatment functions.

All members of a planning team, including the judge, coordinator, prosecutor, defense counsel, treatment representative, community supervision representative, law enforcement and evaluator, must be able to attend a five-day training program to qualify for DCPI.

A team of NDCI staff and cadre of Drug Court practitioners will work with planning teams to develop their policy and procedure manual. Topics include, but are not limited to, team building, psychopharmacology, mission statement, goals and objectives, target population, treatment, community supervision, drug testing, relapse, incentives and sanctions, confidentiality and ethics, evaluation/MIS and sustainability.

There is no registration fee for this training and hotel accommodations for teams selected to attend Adult DCPI trainings will be covered through a direct bill process. Additionally, NDCI received funds to award travel scholarships.

To apply for this initiative, please visit the Adult Drug Court Planning Initiative Page on the NDCI website. The closing date for this application is Friday, December 11, 2009.  If you have any questions, please contact Meghan Wheeler at the National Drug Court Institute at mwheeler@ndci.org.
