It means that in SOME judicial systems, drug court is run as a social experiment where drug use and drug abuse (especially for first-=time offenders) is viewed not as a criminal matter but as a social problem. People who would be found "guilty" in a normal court are only found to be "Involved" in drug court.

I haven't ever heard of any one graduating early. they can set you back months for all kinds of things such as failing drug test missed drug test is the same as failing one, being around people with felonies, going to a beer store or hanging with known drug users and drug dealers, you cant be around a jail and you have to go to substance abuse classes and NA/AA meetings and court every week. it's a good program if you really want to straighten up and stay off drugs they teach you how to know your triggers and how to live with out drugs..
