The Beadle County Drug & DUI Court and Brookings County Drug & DUI Court teams are extending an invitation to the public to attend their alumni day recovery celebrations. These events, which are designed to honor program participants, will feature a panel of program graduates and conclude with light receptions.
These celebrations form part of the National Treatment Court Month, an initiative aimed at recognizing individuals who have successfully transformed their lives through the treatment and support provided by these programs. The primary goal of treatment courts is to guide people with substance use and mental health disorders away from the justice system and towards lives of recovery, stability, and health.
Joan Nettinga, the treatment court coordinator for Beadle and Brookings counties, can be contacted for more information at 605-690-1591 or via email at joan.nettinga@ujs.state.sd.us.
