Morris/Sussex Vicinage to Hold Graduation Ceremony for Morris Recovery Court Participants

The Morris/Sussex Vicinage will hold a graduation ceremony for 12 participants of the recovery court program in Morris County on Tuesday, May 23 at 2 p.m. at the Morris County Public Safety Training Academy, 500 W. Hanover Ave., Parsippany. 

Superior Court Judge Robert M. Hanna will preside over a ceremony that will acknowledge the participants’ achievements in recovery. New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Patrick J. Callahan will be the guest speaker.

The Judiciary’s recovery court program operates within the Superior Court to address nonviolent drug-related cases. The rigorous program requires completion of five phases of drug and alcohol treatment that includes intensive probation supervision, frequent drug testing, and virtual court appearances. This level of supervision permits the program to support the recovery process but also allows supervisors to react quickly to impose appropriate therapeutic sanctions or to reinstate criminal proceedings when participants do not comply.
 
The recovery court program in Morris County has 95 participants.
