Maryland Problem-Solving Courts have greatly grown since the initial inception. Since its inception, Maryland has fostered the growth of many Problem-Solving Courts to include: Adult Drug Courts, Juvenile Drug Courts, Mental Health Courts, Re-Entry Courts, Truancy Courts, Veterans Treatment Courts, Family Recovery Courts, and the Back on Track Program. This panel will share their unique insight on the courts from the perspective of graduates. Attendees will hear from past participants about what motivated them to change, what was the turning point in their addiction, and what have they done to continue to maintain sobriety, amongst other topics.
