Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)

The Reno Family Drug Court has been reviewed by the CEBC in the area of Substance Abuse Treatment (Adult), but lacks the necessary research evidence to be given either a Scientific Rating or a Child Welfare Relevance Rating. The Reno Family Drug Court created in 1994, was the first family drug court in the United States. Through a collaborative effort, the Reno Family Drug Court seeks to ensure children have a safe and nurturing environment by focusing on both healthy and sober parenting and permanency planning through family reunification.

The Reno Family Drug Court deals primarily with poly-substance abuse issues and works with a high percentage of co-occurring disorders that are mental health related.
