The McLennan County Driving While Intoxicated/Drug Court (MCDDC) is a $679,180 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 16.585). This 4-year grant supports the development and enhancement of the MCDDC, a post-adjudication treatment program for adults that spans at least 12 months and is divided into four phases. The goals of the program are to enhance court services, improve data collection and analysis, and enhance the quality and intensity of services based on participant needs and assessments. The objectives are to provide judicial and community supervision, mandatory drug testing, substance use and mental health treatment, and appropriate incentives and sanctions, as well as ensure equivalent access for all eligible individuals and enhance access to recovery support services.

Mclennan county developed an evidence based mcddc program using research, as well as the growing body of literature regarding evidence-based practices, and the 10 key components of a treatment court, as outlined by the bureau of justice assistance. Using the sequential intercept model, mclennan county officials are working to transform fragmented systems, identify local resources and gaps and develop strategies for intervention. The goals of the program are to enhance court services; enhance collection and use of mcddc operations and outcome data; and improve the quality and intensity of services based on needs and assessments. The objectives of the program are to provide judicial and community supervision, mandatory and random drug testing, substance use and mental health disorder treatment, and appropriate incentives and sanctions; ensure that all individuals eligible for the treatment court have equivalent access as measured by the collection and examination of program data; and enhance access to recovery support services.
