Driving Under the Influence Treatment Court (DUI-TC)

In response to legislation, a Planning and Oversight Committee, comprised of various criminal justice and City of Philadelphia agencies, began meeting to determine the need to implement a DUI Treatment Court (DUI-TC) in Philadelphia Municipal Court. In June 2007, the Philadelphia DUI-TC, with funding from PennDOT, began its operations. The DUI-TC target population includes second and third time offenders in need of drug and/or alcohol treatment. The DUI-TC is a highly structured program that combines periods of incarceration, community based-treatment, probation and judicial supervision.
