With the lifting of some restrictions due to COVID-19, Compass Drug Court officials are hopeful they will see some semblance of normal soon.
“We’re doing well and chugging along and hopefully we’ll get back in person,” said Washington County Common Pleas Judge Mark Kerenyi, who oversees the program.
Compass Drug Court was launched Jan. 28, 2019. The minimum time in the program for a successful completion is 14 months.
The first two graduates of the Compass Drug Court were celebrated in July at the Washington County Courthouse.
Kerenyi said they’ve had several more drug court graduates.
“We’ll bring them back when we’re done with COVID and have a graduation party,” he said.
