A court ordered intervention program is typically a program that is put in place by a judge as a condition of probation. Common court ordered prevention programs can deal with drinking and alcohol related issues or drug related issues. They can also deal with domestic violence related issues. Those are typically the context in which they come up. An intervention program is a program that attempts to address the root causes of an issue that resulted in criminal behavior, and it typically is structured as a condition of probation when someone is placed on probation as soon as result of one of those types of cases.

These programs provide education, support, and treatment to individuals, aiming to reduce the likelihood of reoffending. They can include counseling, group therapy, educational workshops, and systematic tracking and reporting of their activities to the court. Intervention programs focus on long-term behavioral change and reform by discussing any issues that have led the individual to behave in a criminal manner, such as addiction or inability for self-control in anger or mental illness. Completing these programs sometimes makes outcomes of the legal process more favorable: reduced sentence or dismissal of charges.
