Family Treatment Courts
What is Family Treatment Court?
Family Treatment Court (FTC) was created to address the poor outcomes of traditional reunification with caregivers who struggle with substance use issues and have had their child(ren) placed in custody of Oklahoma’s Department of Human Services (DHS).
The mission of Family Treatment Court is to increase reunification and treatment completion.

Addressing the Problem
An annual average of 8.7 million U.S. children aged 17 or younger live in households with at least one parent who had a substance use disorder (SUD).


FTC strives to ensure the safety and well-being of children and to offer caregivers a viable option to reunify in a timely manner. Through collaboration among the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS), county juvenile court systems, treatment and service providers, and DHS, FTC seeks to provide safe environments for children with intensive judicial monitoring and interventions to treat caregivers’ substance use disorders and other co-occurring risk factors.
A meta-analysis of 16 evaluations examining outcomes found that families that participated in an FTC were two times more likely to reunify than families receiving conventional services. (Zhang, Huang, Wu, Li, and Liu, 2019)
