The Brampton Drug Treatment Court (DTC) is not a traditional court. The Program recognizes that there is a strong correlation between problematic use of substances and crime-related activity. The Program believes that the key to your success is having access to treatment planning, ongoing counselling, case management, individual and group meetings in a highly supportive environment. The goal of this program is to assist you in making changes to your substance use that result in positive outcomes and prevent the ongoing cycle or harm, including additional criminal justice involvement.
