How do registrants graduate from the program?

The TDTC program lasts approximately one year during which time participants must demonstrate the following:

• Control over their addiction and a minimum of three months of abstinence from all substances
• Evidence of stable housing
• Employment or registration in a job training program, shool or confirmed volunteer work
• No new convictions in the three months prior to graduate date

Throughout the year, they are offered encouragement and recognition from the TDTC, CAMH and the program's judges.

Graduating from Drug Treatment Court is not easy.
Often the rigorous schedule becomes too difficult and registrants may decide to withdraw from the program and be sentenced for their offences.

For those who complete the program, the hard work is worth the effort. For our graduates, a drug free future brings new hope and an understanding of past mistakes.
