“Imagine for a moment the impact we could have if Drug Courts were available to all 1.2 million addicted individuals who would be best served by a Drug Court if one were available. Imagine the impact of 1.2 million people making up for lost time by committing themselves to recovery, serving their families, communities and country. This is the promise of Drug Courts. This is why it is critical that Congress fund Drug Courts.” – Martin Sheen, July 19, 2011
