# How do I apply for Rhode Island drug court?

A criminal defense lawyer requests a screening evaluation with the drug court team after charges are filed, then presents evidence of treatment readiness and argues for your admission. Eligibility and the exact process depend on the district and the assigned judge, so having a lawyer who knows the local team improves your odds of being accepted.
