The event will take place in the Courtroom of Judge Dennis C. Drury, 520 W. Big Beaver Rd., on Friday, August 25, 2006 at 12 noon. There will be 10 graduates being honored for their completion of the rigorous one year program.

The 52-4 Drug Therapy Court has enjoyed remarkable success preventing criminal defendants from re-offending.  

The re-offense rate among graduates is less than 2% which is far below the national re-offending rate of 60%. This program is unique among Drug Therapy Courts in Oakland County because admission is not based on the specific nature of the crime committed, but rather on the evaluation of a defendant that reveals a significant substance abuse issue. 

Please direct questions to Judge Dennis Drury at 248.528.2606.
