Reaching the Finish
Line
Jimmy*
was referred to our
Juvenile Drug Court
program after being arrested
on drug charges. Jimmy did
all kinds of drugs:
methamphetamine, cocaine,
prescription drugs,
marijuana, alcohol, etc. He
was suicidal when he was
first admitted into the
program because he was
forced into treatment, but
he did not want to stop
using drugs. Jimmy
eventually graduated from
the drug court program, but
2 months after graduation,
Jimmy called his counselor
and said he needed some
help. The counselor started
seeing Jimmy again and
involved his mom, some of
his friends and neighbors
for 7 months longer in
regular out-patient
counseling. Since then, this
young man has been clean and
sober for 2 years. The
counselor recently saw him
at
Northern
Oklahoma
College,
Enid Campus where he will be
graduating this year with an
associate’s degree.
