Another great day in Drug Court! Dalton was voted MVP for this past month of July.

Every month, participants vote for which peer they believe is putting in good, honest effort to their program, utilizing their supports and the tools they’re learning, and overall demonstrating the values and expectations of Drug Court.

So congratulations to Dalton for the effort he applies towards himself and his recovery, the example he sets for his peers in the program, and his commitment to compliance with the program! Way to go Dalton!!
