In October 2001, the Drug Treatment Court Commission was initiated by the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals (Administrative Order, Oct. 23, 2001). To institute a system of drug treatment courts statewide, the Commission worked to establish uniform standards and procedures. The Commission also assisted local jurisdictions in setting up drug treatment courts by providing technical assistance, training, and other support. Programs for such courts were coordinated and evaluated by the Commission so that they would function efficiently statewide.
Appointed by the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, Commission members included representatives of the Judicial Branch, the General Assembly, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Department of Juvenile Services, the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, a State's Attorney's office, the Public Defender's Office, the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention, the Maryland Association of Public Health Officers, and providers of addiction treatment services.
