On Wednesday, Oct. 17, in the Oakland County Board of Commissioners’ Auditorium in Pontiac, the Oakland County Adult Treatment Court (ATC) celebrated the graduation of five participants at its 33rd graduation since its inception.
Oakland County Circuit Court Judges Joan Young (third from left) and Colleen O’Brien (third from right) congratulated graduates (left to right) Joshua H., Stephanie N., Michelle A., Robin S., and Tom B.
The ATC has served 447 participants to date. It is a four-phase intervention program for non-violent, felony offenders who find it difficult to maintain sobriety.
The program’s key elements are: extremely close judicial and community supervision, intense substance-abuse treatment, frequent substance abuse testing and a long-term commitment to program requirements.
The ATC team consists Young, who presides over the male participants, and O’Brien, who presides over the female participants. Additional members of ATC team include a defense attorney, probation officer, a program supervisor and various treatment providers.
