Allegheny County, Pennsylvania drug court gains momentumPITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania — About three-quarters of the graduates of an Allegheny County, Pennsylvania program that gives some criminal defendants the choice between drug treatment and jail have not been re-arrested, officials said.
It's been five years since the county started its own drug court program and officials, including the judge who oversees the program, said they're happy with the results so far.
According to the Allegheny County, Pennsylvania District Attorney's office and the Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Health Department, 160 offenders have graduated from the program — including 15 this week — and 26 percent of them have been arrested since they graduated.
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania officials could not provide recidivism rates for criminal defendants who chose not to participate in the drug court program since its creation.
But according to statistics gathered by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, the average recidivism rate for those who complete the drug court program is between 4 and 29 percent. The average recidivism rate for defendants who do not participate in a drug court program is 48 percent.
"You can't solve the drug problem by putting people in jail. This is an addiction problem. This is a medical problem," said Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Judge Lester Nauhaus, who oversees the drug court. "We live in a capitalist society. For people to not understand that you need to solve this problem on the demand side just doesn't make sense."
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania is not the first to have a drug court program. The first got its start in Miami in 1989. Since then, more than 1,200 have been set up or are being planned in every state, according to the Alexandria, Va.-based national association.
The structure of drug court programs could differ from county to county and from state to state.
In Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, the drug court is a cooperative effort between the district attorney's office, the judge, the public defender's office and drug treatment counselors. Defendants who have records that consist of many minor crimes or a few serious offenses often participate in the program.
The district attorney determines which defendants are eligible for the program; treatment counselors evaluate what level of treatment an offender needs, whether it's inpatient or outpatient care; and a judge supervises the cases on a monthly basis after participants agree to plead guilty and participate in a 23-month program.
While many programs around the nation receive federal funding, Allegheny County's program does not. It operates with a $800,000 grant it receives every year from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, said Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Chief Adult Probation Officer Bob Galardy.
The concept has gotten a slow start in Pennsylvania — Allegheny, Blair, Chester, Erie, Lackawanna, Lycoming, Philadelphia, and York counties have drug courts — because the program requires a significant commitment from a county judge for the court to be successful, said Jim Strader, the manager of the state's Criminal Justice System Development and Services.
"For many cases in many counties, the judge renders the sentence and that's it. In this case, the offender comes back at a regular basis for progress reports," Strader said. "In most counties, you just aren't going to get a judge to do it."
