West Virginia’s Juvenile Drug Court Program: Data Driven Strategies for Success

While dwindling resources continue to place pressure on some state courts, the West Virginia Juvenile Drug Courts (JDC) have actually expanded. With the promise of efficiency and improved outcomes, West Virginia piloted their first juvenile drug court in 1999. A 2003 analysis of this data showed the juvenile drug court program was successful in keeping the recidivism rate of program participants significantly lower than a matched group of non-participants. Based upon the evaluation of data and feedback of participants, parents and guardians, a decision was made in invest in the expansion of the drug JDC system from 2 courts in July 2007 to 14 Juvenile Drug Courts as of July 2011. Ms. Lora Maynard, Deputy Director of Drug Courts will discuss the findings the lead to the decision to expand the program, the standardized protocol used by all programs, staffing and treatment team requirements, selection process for alcohol and drug programs, statewide program evaluation plan, and key program components.
