Vanderburgh County Court Plans to Expand Drug Treatment Program with New Grants

By: Chris Veech
Updated: November 19, 2012

Nearly $1 million is on the way to Vanderburgh County to expand its successful Drug Treatment Court programs. The financial boost from grants and state reimbursements will allow the county to nearly double the size of its court drug-treatment programs. Methamphetamine abuse accounts for nearly 75 percent of the participants' drug programs. Judge Kiely says this added money could help some users from becoming repeat offenders.
