“We Do It Because It Works”

The drug treatment court program in Wyoming has changed the lives of convicted individuals by giving them a second shot at life. Usually, their families, health and dignity are gone by the time they show up at drug court. Often, they are repeat offenders who have been convicted of a variety of offenses, but not necessarily a drug sale or use. Instead, maybe a lifetime of drug use led them to a litany of theft charges and disorderly conduct citations. Perhaps they were dealers or purchasers. Either way, this is their last shot at a sober life outside of custody.
