More information about the program’s impact can be found in this recap video from the 2024 ceremony.

Since Sedgwick County started its Drug Court in 2008, the program has reduced drug use and crime significantly in our community. The Drug Court concept began in Florida in 1989, with the State of Kansas now hosting 14 Drug Courts that treat offenders who are on probation because of criminal behavior resulting from a substance use disorder.
