What Is Drug Court in Hazlet, NJ?
Drug Courts are a specialized process within the New Jersey Superior Court system intended to address nonviolent drug-related cases. They are unique in that they build collaborative relationships between criminal justice, drug treatment and legal professionals. In New Jersey’s Drug Court program, prosecutors and defense lawyers work together to help non-violent drug and alcohol offenders receive probation and rehabilitation.

They would otherwise have to serve mandatory minimum sentences before being eligible for parole. The probation for drug court typically includes intensive supervision, random urine testing, employment counseling and participation in drug treatment programs.
