Ever wondered how a drug court operates and what makes it different from traditional court systems? This episode of The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast offers a front-row seat. Margaret Swift Thompson chats with Judge Amber, who presides over a drug wellness court. Judge Amber sheds light on the unique role drug courts play in supporting individuals battling addiction.
