Celebrate 2021 National Drug Court Month

For Immediate Release: May 6, 2021

Celebrating 2021 National Drug Court Month 

A courtroom is not a place where you expect to find scenes of celebration and tears of joy. Unless, of course, it’s drug court. This May, South Dakota Problem Solving Courts* will join the nearly 4,000 such programs nationwide in celebrating National Drug Court Month. This year alone, more than 600 individuals statewide who entered the justice system due to addiction will receive lifesaving treatment and the chance to repair their lives, reconnect with their families, and find long-term recovery. National Drug Court Month is a celebration of the lives restored by drug court.  

You are invited to join remotely with the courts in celebration of their accomplishments.  

*Includes Drug, DUI, Veterans Treatment and Mental Health
