Juvenile Drug Court - KADAP
In recognition of the problem that
substance
abuse plays in the lives of minors,
the Juvenile
Court began a Drug Court program patterned
after the successful program in adult
Drug
Court, but specifically designed for
the
needs of minors. KADAP, or Kid's Alcohol
Drug Alternative Program, is the treatment
component of the Juvenile Drug Court
and
provides punishment and treatment alternatives
to incarceration or a residential program.
KADAP is a comprehensive client centered
out-patient program utilizing the combined
resources and expertise of the Juvenile
Probation
Department, Office of Substance Abuse,
Office
of Education, Pacific Complementary
Medicine
Center, and the Juvenile Court. KADAP
provides
the Juvenile Drug Court with a treatment
component and a viable and meaningful
alternative
to detention through intensive probation
supervision of juvenile substance abuse
offenders,
intensive substance abuse counseling
in a
controlled setting, and reinforced
remedial
education. The primary focus of KADAP
is
treatment and recovery, accountability,
and
responsibility to others.
