Guidance to States: Recommendations for Developing Family Drug Court Guidelines
This document provides assistance to the field in further defining Family Drug Courts' (FDC) best and promising practices so that States can issue their own guidelines for FDCs or enact standards by which FDCs are held accountable. The research base has been strengthened and the evidence has been summarized in this new version, presenting a significant contribution to present and future FDCs. Recently there have been a number of new and important contributions to the FDC literature and significant advances from research on topics such as trauma, case management and recovery support, and mental health. The purpose of this publication is to be used by States to develop their own recommendations and also by local FDCs as a tool for courts and administrative agencies who are beginning a FDC or existing FDCs who seek to improve their current operations. This document provides the description of each recommendation, the supporting evidence, and examples of effective strategies to implement the recommendations. It also provides a common vocabulary to begin the collaborative effort to implement a FDC, including specific direction to maximize collaboration efforts for States.
