"Court program helps drug offenders straighten out"

More news from Illinois:

“We have a sensational success rate, which can partially be attributed to the length and thoroughness of the program,” said Julie McCabe-Sterr, drug coordinator for the Will County state’s attorney’s office.

“The longer the period of sobriety, the better the chance of success,” she said. “This is a very intense program that includes regular supervision and support.”

Since the program was initiated, McCabe-Sterr said only 8 percent of participants have reverted to drugs.
