Glad Grads

On Wednesday, Jan. 28, the Oakland County Adult Treatment Court (ATC) conducted its 41st graduation since its inception in August of 2001. Oakland County Circuit Court Judges Joan Young (far left) and Colleen O’Brien (far right) were pleased to honor the 186th through the 190th graduates: (l-r) Mitchell Blanzy, Eddie King, Donna Cook, Brian Fisher, and Michael Linseman.  The ceremony and reception took place in the Oakland County Commissioners Auditorium in Pontiac. The ATC has served 543 participants to date. It offers a sentencing alternative for non-violent felony offenders with serious substance abuse problems. This program addresses the underlying substance abuse problems that lead many offenders to engage in criminal behavior.  The focus is to intervene in the substance abuse and eliminate criminal activity through intense court supervision and utilization of various recovery and counseling services.
