The City of Laredo Health Department proposes to enhance Laredo/Webb County ‘s existing system of care charged with addressing substance use disorder issues through the City of Laredo Drug Court Based Substance Use Treatment Program. The Drug Court Program will provide substance use/behavioral health screening and support services (psycho-education, support groups), intensive case management/outreach services, HIV/STD testing, education and risk reduction. Laredo/Webb County currently has one drug court and lacks a Drug Court Based Substance Use Treatment Program. By October 2023 there will be a detoxification center but other than that, options are limited. City of Laredo Drug Court Based Substance Use Treatment Program proposes to expand and evaluate the Webb County Drug Courts to reduce the incidence and duration of incarcerations, homelessness, and interactions with the criminal justice system while improving the health and social outcomes of individuals with a substance use diagnosis.
