Drug Court received two grants to help support the program over five years. A grant was received from the Federal Government for two years for a total of $320,279. La Crosse County completed the final year of funding in 2005. A second grant was received from the La Crosse Community Foundation for the following three years for a total of $200,000. Drug Court currently has approximately 40 clients participating in the program. Dr. William Zollweg from UW-La Crosse indicated in an evaluation of Drug Court that many results of Drug Court are immeasurable but have a significant impact. Interagency collaboration increases, more people become educated about chemical dependency and participants become more productive members of society. An outcome evaluation completed in 2005 indicated $1.4 million in savings from the operation of the La Crosse County Drug Treatment Court.
