Many options for treatment are out there, but one that is very useful is drug court. In drug court you are meeting with counselors and you are checked on every so often depending on the offense. Drug court gives you a chance to really get back into society with all the support you need. You must make an appearance in court and the judge reviews how you have been doing. Then you either move up a level or stay put. With every level you get more freedom. Once the court believes you have overcome the addiction they will graduate you.I attended a drug court graduation for a class, and 10 people graduated. Some had been clean for 480 days and some only 70 days. Graduation just depends on your progression and how long it takes the court to feel you are ready. Families were there supporting their loved one. One member of each family got to stand up and say how proud they were or something to that affect. A lot of tears were shed and emotion spreading throughout the room. An amazing experience.
This is just one option among many to fight the addiction. Drug court seems to be more effective because there are legal repercussions. Hope this information helps!
