The Morgan County Residential Recovery Court (MCRRC) is a court-supervised long-term male only residential drug and alcohol addiction treatment facility for non-violent felony offenders. The primary purpose of MCRRC is to render intensive treatment to individuals suffering from addiction. MCRRC also exists to reduce recidivism and relieve prison overcrowding.
MCRRC is part of the recovery court system overseen by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. Judge Seth Norman is the Presiding Judge.
Individuals admitted to MCRRC must be referred by local recovery courts and approved by the MCRRC presiding Judge. The MCRRC program is available only to non-violent, addicted, felony offenders whose sentences would require them to be housed in the Tennessee Department of Correction if MCRRC were not an alternative. Applicants must affirmatively express an interest and request to participate in the program. The Presiding Judge assumes jurisdiction over each resident.
Participants are in residence at MCRRC for a minimum of approximately a year. A resident's length of stay beyond the minimum period is entirely dependent upon the evaluation of the treatment team and Presiding Judge based on the resident's progress in his recovery. It is not unusual for participants to remain in the program for longer than twelve months. The Presiding Judge will make final decisions regarding graduation from the program.
