You may be eligible to avoid time in Nevada State Prison and attend drug court if you are charged with narcotics possession for the first time in Nevada. This is a rehabilitation program meant to help addicts rather than inflict punishment on them. The program is open to people facing a first-time charge of one of the following:
The Drug Court Program is open to addicts and non-addicts. Non-addicts can take a drug education class instead of rehab. Participants who are addicts must attend an outpatient rehabilitation and education, as well as counseling. They must report their progress regularly before a judge, and stay clean, including submitting to random drug testing for a specified time period.
Graduates of drug court will have their case completely dismissed, and the case will be sealed. They are allowed to legally deny that they were ever charged with drug possession (although there may be exceptions such as applying for a professional license).
It is normal to be uncertain after a drug possession charge. If you do not understand the significance of the charges you are facing, we will be happy to explain them to you. Some charges can be completely dismissed while others, like possessing narcotics with the intent to sell them, can carry long prison terms. Different drugs carry different punishments, and offenses involving certain drugs are more aggressively prosecuted than others.
