ROCKINGHAM COUNTY DRUG COURT | HARBOR CARE

Drug Courts offer an alternative to prison sentencing for drug-related offenses. Rather than prison time, participants get substance abuse treatment and additional supports in a supervised manner. The program is extremely effective, and provides the rehabilitation services clients need to get well. How It Works: In partnership with the NH Department of Justice, Harbor Care and Keystone Hall work with the Rockingham County Drug Court to provide treatment services that are appropriate for clients and that comply with court orders. New Hampshire’s Drug Courts redirect individuals from the prison system to treatment services. Under the supervision of a judge and parole officer, participants meet recovery workers, while they live and work in the community. Connected with their families and others supports, participants are much more capable of sustaining life-long recovery. Given the expense of prison, Drug Courts are seen not only as a compassionate alternative, but a cost-effective one as well. Over the last decade, nearly every county of New Hampshire has adopted a drug court program.
