Yesterday, United Way of Knox County hosted a luncheon for MERIT Court participants at the Russell-Cooper House. Four participants graduated into phase II of the program after maintaining at least 60 days of continuous sobriety; completing 30 AA/NA meetings in 30 days; completing individual/group counseling; and complying with all other program requirements. One participant graduated into phase III with at least 90 days of continuous sobriety and obtaining full time employment. Thank you United Way for making these graduations a special event!
