WY: Teton drug court

From the Jackson Hole News & Guide:

Drug court gives people a second chance at life

Will Wise shook hands with a newcomer to the drug court program Monday afternoon and told him not to give up. Wise, 40, speaks from experience... (O)n Monday, after 14 months in the program, Wise was one of three Teton County DUI Drug Court graduates honored at a ceremony...

“Even though it was not easy, I have a life that’s a lot more enjoyable than the one I used to have,” Wise said... "It’s nice to see success," said Greg Blenkinsop, Teton County public defender. "Before, all I saw was failure. I didn’t see people coming back buying houses. It was all negative."
