Summary: The Circuit Court of Cook County will use this third year grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to continue efforts to expand and enhance the Rehabilitation Alternative Probation (RAP) Drug Court Program for men and the Women’s Rehabilitation Alternative Probation (WRAP) Drug Court Program for women. The court’s goal is to increase the number and percentage of participants who achieve stable recovery and graduate successfully from the programs. To achieve this goal, the court has expanded and expedited client access to community-based residential substance abuse treatments, incorporated new offender service elements, such as cognitive behavioral therapies and medication treatments, and expanded trauma support services.
The Circuit Court of Cook County established the RAP Drug Court Program for men in 1998 and the WRAP program in 2001 to divert individuals with substance use disorders into treatment. The RAP/WRAP Drug Court Program is currently one of the largest drug courts in Illinois, with approximately 200 participants supervised each year.
Grant funds will be used to partially fund the salary and fringe benefits of a program research associate, as well as to provide funds for community treatment services, supplies, training and travel and indirect costs
