Adult Drug Court

Adult drug court programs provide eligible, non-violent, felony offenders the opportunity to participate in a highly structure, court supervised treatment program in lieu of incarceration.  Since the inception of the first program in 1995, Oklahoma's adult drug court programs have expanded to 73 of the 77 counties in the state.  

Drug courts continue to be a smart investment. The average annual cost of incarceration in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections is $19,000 per person, compared with the average annual per person cost for drug court participation of $5,000.  Drug court graduate re-arrest rates of 23.5% when compared with rates of those whom successfully complete standard probation, 38.2%, and released inmates, 54.3%, are further proof that Oklahoma Drug Courts work.

The success of drug court has also supported the development of other innovative diversionary court programs such as juvenile drug courts, mental health courts, family courts, DUI dockets, and veteran’s dockets across the state.
