Galveston County Drug Court Program
Helping Ourselves with Positive Efforts

The mission of the Galveston County Drug Court Program, HOPE, is to reduce recidivism, improve public safety, reduce costs associated with incarceration and re-arrest, and allow the substance abusing offender to return as a productive and successful member of the family, workforce, and community overall.

What is Drug Court?

Drug Court is a special program within the Galveston County Criminal Justice System. It is a court-supervised treatment program for participants with non-violent criminal charges who also have a drug or alcohol addiction. The program is voluntary and is the personal choice of participants. The Drug Court Team is present to guide and assist, but the final responsibility lays with the participants who must be motivated to make the necessary changes and commitments to drug-free lives.
