Harvey County Drug Court Expansion - on Behalf of the Harvey County Drug Court (adult Treatment Drug Court), We Are Requesting Assistance With the Expansion of Our Existing Drug Court Operations. This Funding Would Allow the HCDC to Expand to Serve 30 Participants Annually, or a Total of 128 Unique Individuals Over the Course of the Next Five Years. the Hcdc’s Population of Focus Are Adult Non-violent Felony Offenders Whose Criminal Activity Is Known or Suspected to Be Directly Connected to the Ongoing or Habitual Abuse of Substances. Without Intervention, Targeted Participants Will Likely Continue to Commit Crimes and Re-enter the Justice System or Have Other Serious, Negative Consequences as a Result. Participants Who Are High Need and High Risk, as Defined by Ncdi Receive Priority for Admission to Drug Court.
