Drug Rehab Grads Raise Money to Help New Offenders Get Clean
Former drug court graduates plan to take out their bikes to raise funds for people who want to end their drug addiction, according to an article in the Salt Lake Tribune. The bikers intend to use any money raised to help pay expenses and housing for new people entering drug rehab through the courts.
One of the graduates, who’s been riding motorcycles for 35 years, says that the drug court “saved his life.”
The drug courts in Utah are set up to help people who commit minor drug-related offenses stay out of prison – if you complete a long-term alcohol or drug rehab program successfully, the charges can be reduced or even dismissed.
Right now over 400 adult offenders in Utah participate in the courts. The Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Heath reports that 84% of people enrolled in a drug rehab program through the courts have had zero arrests while in the program.
