The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services has been awarded nearly $1 million to expand the Morgan County Statewide Recovery Court and 28 participating county courts across the state. With support from the Tennessee Department of Correction, the federal grant will support 60 individuals a year, allowing for a total of 180 men to receive services during the three-year grant cycle. The referrals to the program will come primarily from felony recovery courts in Tennessee seeking more intensive services for their male defendants. The Chattanoogan has the story.
