Drug Court addresses the cause of the criminal activity (addiction to drugs) and decreases the likelihood of a return to that criminal activity. Through a strict and disciplined rehabilitation program, participants are given a chance to recover from the addiction that led to their crime and build a new life in recovery; to find a better quality of life for the individual and the community. It is a win/win situation for all involved. The addict gets a chance for a new life. The law is enforced. The cost to the taxpayer is reduced while maintaining public safety. 843) 479-5677 or 623-5460 |

No child starts out in life with the ambition of becoming a criminal or an addict. The goal of the Fourth Circuit Solicitor’s Office is to offer alternatives and diversions to bad habits. We believe in changing people’s lives instead of throwing them in jail. |

Equine Assisted Therapy is a unique team approach to help participants gain insight into their own behavior and make healthy changes that promote quality of life.

Just working around horses gives people the opportunity to overcome fear and develop confidence and self-assurance. Accomplishing a task involving a horse provides a way of learning that can be applied to challenges and problems in everyday life. Contact: Casey Moore (843) 623-5460 |
