Summary: The purpose of the South Suburban Adult Drug Court Enhancement Program is to enhance operations of the three south suburban adult drug treatment courts, located in Maywood (Fourth Municipal District), Bridgeview (Fifth Municipal District) and Markham (Sixth Municipal District). Under this grant award, the Court intends to facilitate case management and treatment linkage to individuals served by these courts. This enhancement of case management referral, linkage and health insurance/literacy assistance components, and substance use treatment services will divert vulnerable individuals from jail and prison into appropriate treatment for substance use disorders, including clinically appropriate treatment access (medication-assisted treatment) for participants with opiate use disorders. These enhancements will maximize the effectiveness of court operations. The Court anticipates serving 80 participants residing in the south suburbs during the four-year funding period.
