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

The Morris/Sussex Vicinage will hold a graduation ceremony for nine participants of the recovery court program in Morris County on Tuesday, April 9 at 2 p.m. at the Morris County Public Safety Training Academy, 500 W. Hanover Ave., Morristown.

Superior Court Judge Robert M. Hanna will preside over a ceremony that will acknowledge the participants’ achievements in recovery. 

The keynote speaker is Anthony Justo, a recovery court graduate and business development specialist with Guardian Recovery Network. A certified peer recovery specialist, Justo also is a
licensed real estate agent. 

The Judiciary’s recovery court program operates within the Superior Court to address non-violent 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 80 participants.
