When justice heals

A personal story of addiction, recovery, and moments that transform lives

The premier episode of “Standards of Justice” features a conversation with treatment court alumna, certified peer recovery support specialist, and National Treatment Court Alumni Association co-founder and board member Deena Davis.

Deena bravely shares her story and offers invaluable insight into:

  • What it’s like to sit across from the treatment court team for the first time feeling scared and ashamed,
  • Examples from her time in treatment court that reveal the why behind participant behavior, and
  • Her transition from participant to alumna to treatment court team member, and an incident during staffing that was both devastating and the impetus for meaningful change.

This is a must-listen for everyone working to advance treatment and recovery.
