The later stages also focus on restoring the self dignity and also impacting the participant with the prerequisites to self-manage the drug abuse issue once the probation and treatment duration ends (Tara, 2007).
The drug courts are also said to be significant to the economy of the U.S. The drug courts save the taxpayer money for each participant in the treatment as compared to the same individual or one with a similar problem but going through the criminal court system. This is realized by the reduced recidivism cases among the graduates from the treatment facilities recommended by the drug court systems (Daniel, 2003).
In general, the drug use is very addictive and a problem that dealing with it in the U.S. society is very difficult. This is why the drug courts system is very crucial in eliminating the vice. It would be difficult to leave the task to the criminal courts that specialize in only judging and conviction without the option of treatment and rehabilitation. They do not give that personal attention to the offenders as is needed in the case of drug users. The drug courts do not just convict but participates in the analysis of individual offenders and recommend the appropriate treatment in accordance to the individual problems and personality (U.S. Department of Justice, 2006).
The drug courts have by and large achieved substantial support locally and therefore have provided rigorous, treatment services which are usually long-term to participants with radical histories of drug abuse. These the courts have done well where criminal justice system had failed (Belenko, 2001)
