Fulton County’s first and Georgia’s largest veterans treatment court graduated its initial veteran on Oct. 17, 2014. After more than 18 months of hard work, therapy, job training and, most importantly, sobriety, “Reggie” successfully completed our program ready to return as a stronger person to his family and the community. His story is compelling. It illustrates the reasons Georgia has embraced the principles undergirding veterans’ courts and accountability courts in general.
Reggie is in his mid-40s and is a native Atlantan. He was a “Grady Baby” and graduated from Archer High School. He describes himself as a good kid who was very quiet and shy growing up. After completing his education, he enlisted in the military, joining the U.S. Navy in 1986. Away from home for the first time, he came out of his shell socially. It was not long, though, before he began running with the wrong crowd, which led to his experimenting with drugs and alcohol.
