Problem-Solving Justice in Practice: The Meuse Probation Service’s Approach to Drug Addiction

In response, the Meuse Probation Service, in partnership with the French Ministry of Justice, has launched an innovative problem-solving justice program focused on drug-related offenses.
Program Objectives
- Prevent recidivism among individuals convicted of drug-related offenses.

- Build strong inter-institutional partnerships based on a collaborative, motivational, pragmatic, and rehabilitative approach, enabling participants to progress through the program successfully.
