2 graduate Drug Court program
CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman County Drug Court program recently announced two graduates of its program led by Cullman County District Judge Chad Floyd and the Cullman County Drug Court staff. The court offered its congratulations to its newest graduates Christina Ladner and “G.R.” Floyd said completing the program is a huge accomplishment. “The fact is that not every individual who enters into the program successfully completes it,” Floyd said. “When we post pictures of a graduate of the program, I want folks to know that this individual has been clean and sober for a period of at least 12 months. They have been drug screened on a random basis. They have met every requirement of our program with respect to intensive outpatient treatment and self-care at AA or NA.” Floyd said they have also completed at least 52 hours of service in the community. “The two individuals who graduated this week were able to make it through their entire term of participation in our program without a single sanction or slip up between them,” Floyd said. “They both did an excellent job and I was proud to have persons of their character in our program.” Copyright 2024 Humble Roots, LLC.
