Board to declare Drug Court Awareness Month

On Wednesday, Oct. 2, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners will recognize October as Oakland County Adult Treatment Court and Juvenile Drug Court Awareness Month. Since 2001, the circuit court has established the Therapeutic Drug Treatment Courts for adults and juveniles to address substance abuse issues of offenders, who are incarcerated for drug-related crimes. These courts have decreased recidivism rates and helped participants achieve employment and break the cycle of drug dependency. They invest in human capital and save lives while cutting taxpayers' costs for incarceration rates. Oakland County Board Vice Chairman Jeff Matis and Commissioner Marcia Gershenson will present the proclamation to Circuit Court Judge Joan E. Young on behalf of the Oakland County Adult Treatment Court and Juvenile Drug Court. The board meeting will begin at 7 p.m., in the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Auditorium located at 1200 North Telegraph Road in Pontiac. Published: Tue, Oct 1, 2013
