Wyoming Treatment Court Standards
​On April 23, 2024, the Wyoming Supreme Court amended the Rules Governing Court Supervised Treatment Programs, introducing Rule 18. This rule mandates that all treatment courts in Wyoming adhere to standards maintained by the Wyoming Supreme Court, which are published on the Wyoming Judicial Branch website. These standards, grounded in the 10 Key Components of Drug Courts, are further informed by the Adult Treatment Court Best Practice Standards, Volume 1 & 2, developed by All Rise (formerly the National Association of Drug Court Professionals), as well as the Family Treatment Court Best Practice Standards and Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Guidelines. They are specifically crafted to ensure consistent, high-quality practices across all treatment courts in Wyoming.
