North Carolina: Drug courts hope for money, brace for closing

Drug-treatment court employees around the state are scrambling for money and making contingency plans for their clients as they wait to see whether the N.C. House will restore money to keep their programs going.

The N.C. Senate's proposed budget for the next fiscal year cuts $1 million in drug-court money - all but $76,000 of the state money drug courts got last year, which would be used to help pay for two state-level positions. The $1 million was used to pay for drug testing and treatment and the salaries of local drug-court employees.

Unless the House, which is expected to release its version of the budget soon, restores the money, some of the state's 32 drug courts will have to close up shop. Others may be able to continue operating on grants or local money.

Rep. Phil Haire, D-Jackson, a co-chairman of the House subcommittee that oversees justice and public-safety spending, said that the committee has not yet made a decision on drug-court money.

Gene Williams, the director of Forsyth County's adult and juvenile drug-treatment courts, said that he stopped taking new clients about a month ago, but that he's been searching for money from grants, private donors and other government agencies to keep the courts going.

He said that unless Forsyth's drug courts find the money, adult drug court would stop operation on July 1. The juvenile drug court, which is currently financed by a federal grant, would be able to continue until January, he said.

"We're going to see what's coming. We don't plan on shutting the doors," Williams said.

Forsyth County started its drug court in July 1996. It serves nonviolent offenders who are accused of drug-related crimes, providing them with an opportunity to get treatment rather than spend time in prison or jail. Participants enter a 12- to 18-month program that includes court appearances twice a month, treatment sessions, support-group meetings, frequent random drug tests and unannounced home visits.

In 2004, 1,223 people were in drug-court programs statewide, and 215 people graduated. A national study has shown that just 16.4 percent of graduates of drug-court programs are rearrested on felony charges. In North Carolina, 35 percent of adult-court participants and 28 percent of youth-court participants graduated in 2004, statistics show.

Kristin Frescoln, the state's acting drug-treatment court manager, said that 13 state-paid drug-court employees have been sent notices that they may lose their jobs in 30 days if the House doesn't restore money. Ten more people whose jobs were paid for by federal grants will lose their jobs over the next several months as that money runs out.

Frescoln said she has identified enough grant money to keep a minimum number of staff in place to keep drug-court programs operating on a basic level.

"We have a legal and ethical obligation to continue to serve those who are already in our courts," Frescoln said. "We're going to make sure that they will be transitioned in treatment."

But even if the House restores the $1 million, Frescoln said, local drug courts will still have problems making ends meet. Many local courts had been operating on federal grant money that runs out this year. The drug courts had actually requested $3.2 million from the General Assembly this year to make up for the loss of federal money.

Judge Lisa Menefee, who oversees Forsyth County's adult drug court, said that the legislature's cuts to drug courts may be "shortsighted."

The cost of treating someone in drug court is far cheaper than the cost of keeping them in prison, she said.

"I'm just in a state of shock," Menefee said. "I can't believe that a program that has made such a huge difference in so many people's lives ... is being cut out of the budget."

Fresoln said that she believes that legislators support drug courts, but that the Senate's Justice and Public Safety committee had difficult choices to make in a tight budget year.

"When you've got a choice as an appropriations member between funding the prison and finishing building the small youth-development centers and funding things like judges and clerks and district attorneys, something like drug court ... seems like a really nice thing to do, but we don't absolutely have to," Frescoln said.
