  Porter County Chief Juvenile Probation Officer Amy Beier said the juvenile drug court will be limited to 10 participants, at least initially.She noted that because this will be an entirely new program for Porter County, officials want to take the time needed to make it successful.Further, a larger drug court could require additional staff.
  
  Only two other Indiana counties currently have juvenile drug courts.Beier commended the support from the Porter County Council, which agreed to fund a new probation officer in this year's budget specifically for the new court.
  ...
  "The treatment is very key," Beier said.
  ...
  Although the court will function similar to the adult drug court, juvenile drug courts require a number of additional components, Beier said.The court will be certified and licensed by the state judicial center.
  ...

  Porter County Chief Juvenile Probation Officer Amy Beier said officials were interested in starting a diversion program here after seeing a significant number of juveniles who seemed to be dealing with mental health issues.Months into probation, she said, officials could see things unravel with the kids, later forcing them to play "catch up" in terms of the best way to handle the cases.
  ...
  Beier said officials knew they were on the right track early on in the project because of a few specific cases.
  ...
  And of those, just three, or 9 percent, have seen new charges filed against them, which Beier said is a very low recidivism rate.
  ...
  For some kids, Beier said, the heavy hammer of court involvement is deemed necessary.

  "For the youth in the community, for our ability to care for those youths, it's a direct hit," Porter County Chief Juvenile Probation Officer Amy Beier said.
  
  Juvenile Probation has placed adolescents in both programs over the years.
  
  But Beier said because of funding matters, fewer have been placed in the Niequist Center the last couple years.
  
  "Regardless of where you place them, it costs money," Beier said."There has, historically, been a lack of funding for adolescent programs."
  
  Beier said there are no other treatment programs in the county similar to those that will cease to exist when Hanson House and the Niequist Center close.
  
  "It affects our ability to offer good, quality treatment options," Beier said.
