Did awesome for a full year had one non compliant week and was kicked out of program. Now serving 3 and a half years. Wish I never got involved with this program. Met more dealers in drug court then I had 10 years before. Thank God I had a strong support group out of court. Numerous people feel the same way I feel but don't speak openly cuz of retributions. Little to no help for traumatized women. Faulty drug tests that give false-positive readings but when blood work is done test clean on same day testing. People wanting out of jail seems like the norm and a addiction free life is secondary. Recommendation is to stop funding completely and allocate funds for incarcerated programs. Everyone smiled and nods at you but talk and throw accusations behind your back. Have a better chance of winning a lottery then staying sober with this program. Gave it a 1 out of 100 for success after 5 years. Be prepared to go back to jail and do lots of community service for minor infractions.
