Drug Courts: A New Hope for Addiction Recovery

The research has borne out that oftentimes a participant's success in drug court is affected by the relationship that he or she has with the judge because it's a lot more personal. You try to find a connection, and most of the people that come in front of me, I genuinely like. You can see the type of person that they could become if they can get a handle on this addiction.
What happens when addiction becomes more than just a personal battle? In this compelling episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg tackle the multifaceted issue of drug abuse, which affects not just individuals but families, communities, and even the legal system. They bring in Judge Michael Feeterer to shed light on Drug Courts—a national movement that's making waves in the fight against addiction. Drug Courts aren't your typical courtrooms.
They offer a unique blend of accountability and support, aiming to help participants recover rather than simply punishing them. Judge Feeterer shares eye-opening stories about how these courts operate and the profound impact they can have on people's lives. You'll hear about the challenges participants face and the critical role relationships play in their recovery journey. From judges to probation officers, everyone involved strives to connect with participants on a personal level, fostering an environment where recovery is possible.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself, know someone who is, or are just curious about alternative approaches to justice, this episode offers valuable insights and hope. Tune in to understand how Drug Courts are changing lives one case at a time.
