SAMHSA press release - "Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson today announced over $10 million in funding for 28 community drug treatment courts to provide substance abuse treatment for parents charged with abuse and neglect of their minor children, juveniles, or substance abusing adults charged with criminal offenses. These grants will expand these courts, designed to target effective treatment services to break the cycle of child abuse or criminal behavior, alcohol or drug abuse and incarceration, by funding alcohol and drug treatment and additional services that support substance abuse treatment."
