Drug court changes behaviors to reunite families

Drug Court gets a new lease with program grants
For seven years, Judge Beth Heath sought to get the support needed to maintain the Drug Court program after the state pulled the program’s funding. Recently those efforts received grants totaling more than 1.7 million dollars. "We had been operating our court for several years," said Judge Beth Heath. "We didn’t want to shut it down. We started looking for alternatives to be able to continue the court and to have funding to do that."
