Iron County Drug Court

The Iron County Drug Court program is a rural drug court.  We have been in operation since May, 2003.  This program is unique in that this court is a Trial Court, one judge for all courts.  As such the populations served are adult circuit, adult district, adult DUI, and family court.  The Drug Court does accept co-occurring probationers.  The court has served as high as 50 probationers.  We have a team consisting of community treatment resources, prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, judge, and assigned drug court officer, and a drug court coordinator.  We attempt to take a holistic approach in pinpointing and addressing all aspects of probationer's life/problems effecting the addiction.  We have a four-phase, two track system with different tasks addressed on each phase.  All participants attend reviews bi-monthly or one time per month depending on circumstances and track.  All participants stay engaged in treatment or aftercare services for the duration of their time in the program.  The program length is one year minimum.
