Costa Rica has set in motion a partnership between its court system and government by setting up a Program for Drug Treatment Under Judicial Supervision, starting with the first two pilot drug treatment courts in San Jose, in collaboration with the Organization of American States, through the Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD).
A Drug Treatment Court (DTC) is an innovative approach to dealing with non-violent criminal offenses related to drug addiction, placing offenders in treatment under court supervision, instead of sending them to jail. The program also aims to lower the prison population, as well as the associated expenditure. The new courts will open at two locations, downtown San Jose and the suburb of Pavas.
