The purpose of the program is to develop intake and court procedures that screen, assess and give new dispositional alternatives for children with needs and problems related to the use of alcohol beverages or controlled substances who come within the jurisdiction of a court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this chapter and ch. 938 in the pilot counties selected by the department.
