There has been an uneven pattern of development of drug treatment courts throughout Britain. The Republic of Ireland has a drug treatment court and Scotland will have one by the end of 2001, but there are no drug treatment courts in England and Wales, or Northern Ireland, although in the latter there is a growing interest. It is suggested the Drug Treatment and Testing Order (DTTO) in England and Wales has acted as an impediment as this is a very weak version of drug treatment court and was proposed by the Prime Minister when Shadow Home Secretary. Drug treatment courts in Eire and Scotland have adapted their program to fit local conditions, although neither have opted for a fully fledged drug user treatment court on the Miami model.
英国各地药物治疗法庭的发展情况不均衡。爱尔兰共和国设有一个药物治疗法庭，苏格兰到2001年底也将设立一个，但英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰都没有药物治疗法庭，尽管北爱尔兰对此的兴趣与日俱增。有人认为，英格兰和威尔士的《药物治疗与检测令》（DTTO）起到了阻碍作用，因为这是药物治疗法庭的一个非常弱化的版本，是首相在担任影子内政大臣时提出的。爱尔兰和苏格兰的药物治疗法庭都对其项目进行了调整以适应当地情况，不过两者都没有选择采用迈阿密模式的成熟的吸毒者治疗法庭。
