The Central Nebraska Drug Court held its 32nd graduation ceremony on May 2nd, in Kearney, Nebraska. 23 participants were recognized for successfully completing the program. Former Nebraska Senator Mike Flood delivered the keynote address.   Drug Court Coordinator Todd Rosno stated, "This is my 9th graduation that I have had the opportunity to facilitate and each one is special in its own right, but the common theme is the celebration of not only sobriety, but reunification of families and communities. 

The Central Nebraska Drug Court, like other Nebraska Problem-Solving Courts, operates under a team approach where a judge, prosecutor, defense counsel, community supervision officer, law enforcement, and treatment providers work together to design an individualized program.  Compliance with treatment and court orders is verified by frequent alcohol and drug testing, close community supervision, and interaction with a judge during non-adversarial court review hearings.  Problem-Solving Courts enhance close monitoring of participants using home visits and intensive case management.
