Acknowledgements: National TASC would like to acknowledge all those who have graciously contributed to this important project. We wish to express our gratitude to all the judges and drug court coordinators who took the time to complete a lengthy survey and share additional information about their drug court treatment services over the telephone. We also wish to express a special thank you to the individuals who served as advisors and field reviewers. The following people thoughtfully shared their expertise to help us clarify and shape the results of the survey into a cohesive contextual framework to support the drug court field.
