Alberta expands drug treatment court to seven cities with $4M, offering non-violent offenders rehab instead of jail.
Alberta has expanded its drug treatment court program, launched in 2005, to seven cities including Calgary and Edmonton, with $4 million in 2025 funding.
The free, court-supervised program offers a one- to two-year alternative to incarceration for non-violent drug offenders, requiring participants to plead guilty, undergo regular drug testing, attend weekly court hearings, and access support in housing, employment, mental health, and peer mentoring.
Participants complete about 100 hours of community service monthly and are monitored for progress.
The initiative, run by enCompass, aims to reduce recidivism and free up justice resources, with 70% of graduates not reoffending.
