Cody Winslow, 21, of Jeannette, thanks the team members, classmates and his family, as Judge Meagan Bilik-DeFazio looks on, during drug court graduation at the Westmoreland County Courthouse in Greensburg in December.

Three people will be recognized Thursday for graduating from the Westmoreland County Drug Treatment Court.

Westmoreland Judges Christopher Feliciani and Megan Bilik-DeFazio will preside at the graduation ceremonies at noon Thursday in Courtroom 5 at the Westmoreland County Courthouse on North Main Street, Greensburg.

The diversionary court program works to rehabilitate drug addicts charged with crimes into sober, productive members of the community.

The goal of the drug treatment court is to increase public safety, decrease substance abuse and break the cycle of people committing more crimes and going back to jail. It works through a collaborative program of intensive judicial oversight, supervision and treatment.

Participants who have completed all phases of the program are eligible to graduate and are offered ongoing recovery support.
