IntroductionThe Drug Courts in NSW are established in order to take actions against the people whohave an addiction towards the drugs. These people are presented in Court and are sometimespunished or sent to medical facilities to reduce their addiction. This report is created to discussthe fact that Drug Courts are not that effective towards the Drug adductors in terms of the healthof participants, justice, etc. How Drug Courts s are not effectiveIt is a fact that Drug Courts s in NSW held up a progressive alternative to incarcerationfor the drug crimes, however, they do not decrease criminal justice involved in fact they actuallymake the system more punitive towards the drug addiction in terms of drug offenders. They alsoraise the significant constitutional and privacy concerns (Mitchell et al. 2012). In order to carryon with the process, the participants have to sign a waiver which makes them compliance toshare the medical information related to substance abuse treatment to all the members that areinvolved in the Drug Courts team. Drug Courts not effective in terms of healthDrug Courts s in NSW provides the participants with the service that they need but theyoften fail to live up to their promises. They inadequately access the needs of people and placethem with inappropriate treatment (McPherson and Sauder 2013). Moreover, in a treatmentsetting, the relapse is also met with various intensive services, however, in the Drug Courtssetting it is met with the temporary or permanent removal of the services which is very harmfulto the health of the participants. Drug Courts not effective regards to costIn order to take part in the Drug Courts, it becomes costly for the participants who havespent a lot to come to the Courts and also hire a lawyer to represent those (Sheidow et al. 2012).The drug (Opioid) cost addiction savings for the participants in NSW are based on the assumedreductions in terms of the pre-trial detention and recidivism but it is unclear to what extent. Evenif some of the drug (Opioid) cost addiction savings are initiated in the pre-trial, these savings donot matter when the program cost is accounted for which are always overlooked. The costincludes the drug test, incarceration for detoxification, net widening, etc.
