The Associated Press reports that so far in 2009, the State of West Virginia has already opened five drug courts and it's planning to have a sixth -- in Cabell County -- by the end of the year.
The AP said that drug courts offer community-based treatment programs for nonviolent offenders who suffer from abuse or addiction problems. It's an alternative to sentencing someone to state prison.
