The Sarpy County Juvenile Drug Court celebrated a graduation at the Sarpy County Courthouse in Papillion on August 13, 2024. Judge Jonathan Crosby presided over the ceremony.

Graduation marks the completion of an intensive program of comprehensive drug treatment, intensive community supervision, and full accountability for the Juvenile Drug Court Graduate. Upon successful completion of the program, the graduate’s charges are dismissed. 

Drug Courts are an alternate route through the criminal justice system for nonviolent drug-related offenders, utilizing a specialized team process that functions within the existing court structure. The courts are designed to reduce recidivism and substance use among individuals with substance use disorders. In addition, the court aims to protect public safety and increase the participant's likelihood of successful rehabilitation by utilizing validated risk and need assessments, early and individualized behavioral health treatment, frequent and random chemical testing, incentives, sanctions, and other rehabilitative and ancillary services.
