Advice for drug courts wanting 
to track their graduates post-
commencement
Like many courts that are funded by federal 
grants, we committed to following our 
graduates for up to three years post-
graduation by administering telephonic 
check-ins at several timed intervals. And, like 
many of you, I found this to be a daunting 
task. In spite of the significant gains our 
participants made while in drug court, I 
found that many of them remain somewhat 
transitory after graduation.
To remedy this, our court started a Recovery 
Management Group. The group is not a 
therapy group but rather a “connection” 
group that meets twice per month. As the 
coordinator, I facilitate the group by opening 
the space for the meeting and providing a 
topic of discussion. It may be that one of the 
graduates lost a job or is looking for a new 
place to live. They can communicate these 
things to their peers and often, get great 
advice. Overall, I have found that the 
graduates are much better at tracking one 
another and keeping in touch. If I cannot find 
someone, chances are, they know how to 
find them. Then, I get to see their face and 
have an in-person experience with them.
