Rotary Hears From Drug Court Leader

The DeWitt County drug court is a program local law enforcement officials and those in the court system vouch for and say is a very good program.
 
DeWitt County probation officer Dave Beery addressed the Clinton Rotary Club Tuesday afternoon. He explains the drug court in DeWitt County is a pretty typical drug court.
 
 
Beery explains the way they work with the people in the drug court conflicts with how the court system works. He indicates it is an interesting balance in working with the individuals as the end goal is to change their lifestyle.
 
 
The court has continuous interaction with the individuals and are monitored very closely. Beery says it is a team effort to get individuals out of addiction.
 
 
With the heroin epidemic that is plaguing the nation and local communities, the drug court has never been more important.
 
Tomorrow on Regional Radio News, we'll outline the successes of the drug court and why it is effective.
