Indian River County's Drug Court team provides outpatient treatment services via <br /> our local treatment providers without any outside funding . Adult Drug Court <br /> clients assume the cost for their entire program and treatment cost. This at times <br /> has limited the number of mentally ill and substance abusing individuals who are <br /> able to enter and receive treatment via this program . It is the intent of the Board <br /> of County Commissioners to utilize this funding for individuals who are unable to <br /> bear the cost associated with Adult Drug Court. If funding were available , more <br /> individuals would be able to participate in this worthwhile program . Allocating the <br /> available $ 18 , 018 in funding for this worthwhile program , even through limited , <br /> would provide a number of Indian River County residents who are unable to <br /> participate to enter into and receive treatment. <br /> Program Structure and Service delivery plan <br /> The Ten Key Components of a Drug Court Program are incorporated into Indian <br /> River County's Adult Drug Court Program .
