Wichita, KS 97218
316-660-1740
The program began in 2008 and is a product of two decades of scientific research. There are 14 drug courts in Kansas, and each uses a non-adversarial approach; prosecution and defense attorneys promote public safety and protect the due process rights of the people in the program. The court itself is a specialty court with the responsibility to handle cases involving drugs using comprehensive supervision, drug testing, treatment services, and immediate sanctions and incentives. It is in partnership with the Department of Corrections and Comcare, plus the Office of the District Attorney and the Sheriff’s Office.
Abstinence is monitored by frequent, random alcohol and drug testing. Ongoing judicial interaction with each offender is essential for accountability purposes.
Sentencing is dependent on two primary factors: the severity level of the crime and the defendant’s criminal history.
