Dickson County government has provided $15,000 to the 23rd District Recovery Court to purchase a pickup truck for the program. According to a press release, the money comes from settlements reached between pharmaceutical companies and state and local governments to address the opioid crisis. The program will use the truck to transport equipment and supplies for participants in the court’s sober living residences. The recovery court provides services to residents who have been ordered by the court to seek treatment and monitored recovery due to addiction. The 18-month program offers housing, employment, transportation and comprehensive treatment services. According to the court, about 50 recovering addicts are served each year.
