# Who is eligible for drug court in Rhode Island?

Drug court generally targets non-violent defendants whose offenses are driven by a substance use disorder. Eligibility depends on the nature of the charge, your criminal history, and a clinical screening for genuine dependency. Violent offenses and cases involving large-scale dealing are usually excluded. A lawyer can assess whether you qualify and advocate for your admission.
