'Second chances' program at Kitsap County hits milestone

PORT ORCHARD -- Since its inception 27 years ago, 1,000 individuals have graduated from the Kitsap County Adult Drug Court. The diversion program offers court-supervised substance use treatment as an alternative to prosecution for eligible adults charged with certain felony, misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offenses. Participants who complete the roughly 18-month program will have their criminal charges cleared. It is one of more than 100 therapeutic courts in Washington, which serve people whose criminal cases are linked to substance use disorders or other behavioral health needs. Kitsap County ADC marked its milestone anniversary during the program's largest graduation class of the year, which was split into two ceremonies on Oct. 30.

Former Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Jay Roof, a key figure in launching the program in 1999, spoke at the event about KCADC's beginnings and accomplishments. Back then, Roof said his initiative was met with pushback from his colleagues who questioned
