Cobb County Drug Treatment Court

Today we celebrated something special.

Four individuals graduated from the Cobb County Drug Treatment Court, each one representing hard work, accountability, and real change. This program is not easy, and what they accomplished took commitment every single day.

This program meets people where they are and gives them the support they need to make real changes in their lives. These graduates are a reflection of what’s possible when that support is matched with commitment.

We are proud of each of you and everything you’ve overcome to get here. Your journey matters, and this moment is just the beginning.

The Cobb County Drug Treatment Court team recently attended an Operational Tune-Up where programs from across the state came together to share ideas, learn from one another, and strengthen the work we do every day.

A special thank you to Brooke and Kelly for putting together this incredible display highlighting some of the successes of our program. The board showcases participant outings, community engagement, and the many ways our participants are building new lives in recovery.

Drug courts change lives. Through accountability, treatment, and strong community support, participants are given the opportunity to break the cycle of addiction and move forward on a new path.

We are proud of the work being done by our team and even more proud of the individuals who commit to doing the hard work of recovery every day.

🎓 Graduates of the Cobb County Drug Treatment Court celebrated a life-changing milestone!

On January 8th, family, friends, judges, and staff gathered in the Jury Assembly Room to honor these four individuals who faced challenges head-on, received support and guidance, and took steps to rebuild their lives.

They have strengthened their families, embraced sobriety, and achieved personal milestones. One graduate even reunited with her children, showing the powerful impact of recovery.

As she shared,
"I came here broken; I leave whole, ready to continue learning, growing, and thriving in life."

Their journeys remind us that with support, dedication, and perseverance, change is possible and every success strengthens our community.

On Saturday, December 13, 2025, our Drug Treatment Court staff and participants volunteered at Marietta National Cemetery in honor of National Wreaths Across America Day.

Together, we helped place wreaths on the headstones of American heroes, taking time to reflect, remember, and show gratitude for the men and women who served our country. It was a powerful experience rooted in respect, service, and community.

We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in this national day of remembrance and to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their legacy lives on, and we remember them.
