What Is “Drug Court” in the State of Florida?
Question by lady T: What is “Drug court” in the state of Florida?
a friend was told that when going to court for felony drug charges he could ask for “drug court” and that after following a “program” and submitting to drug tests for a certain amount of time, if all went well, after wards there wouldn’t be anything on his record, is this true?

Answer by James
Yes. Drug court is a program often called diversion whereby first-time non-violent drug offenders are given a suspended sentence, and if they complete the drug treatment program and are tested clean over a period of time, they are released from supervision and no conviction ever shows up on their record.
