Treatment Court, Rehabilitation, and Recovery Act of 2025

This bill replaces the existing federal treatment court grant program with a new version. The Attorney General could give grants to states, courts, local governments, and tribal governments to start or expand drug, family, tribal, impaired driving, juvenile, and other treatment courts that serve people with substance use disorders. People charged with or convicted of sex offenses, murder, or assault with intent to murder could not take part, and treatment court teams would screen participants for risk of violence. Grant applicants would have to make medication for addiction treatment available when clinically appropriate, base participant fees on ability to pay, and track data on access and completion by race, ethnicity, and gender. The federal share of a program's costs would be capped at 75 percent unless waived, and the Justice Department would conduct a national evaluation of treatment courts within three years.
