Being charged with a drug-related offense can feel overwhelming. You may worry about your future and the impact on your family. The good news is that Maryland’s legal system offers alternatives to traditional prosecution, like Drug Court.
Drug Court is a voluntary program. It focuses on rehabilitation instead of incarceration. The program provides comprehensive support, including substance abuse treatment, counseling, and regular check-ins with a judge. The goal is to help you overcome addiction and avoid future criminal charges.
The Law Offices of Caroline Norman Frost can help you determine what the right path is for you or a loved one.

How Drug Court Works
Drug Court is not an easy option, but it is a powerful one. It is a commitment to a new way of life. The program typically lasts 12-18 months and involves:
- Frequent drug testing.
- Mandatory court appearances.
- Intensive substance abuse treatment.
- Regular meetings with a case manager.
Successfully completing the program can lead to your charges being dismissed, reduced, or expunged. This is a life-changing opportunity.
