(USGovernment-News.Com, August 05, 2016 ) Baltimore, MD -- There is good news for nonviolent drug felons. Instead of doing time for their crime, they will get to perform treatment sessions thanks to Governor Larry Hogan. The governor's office is administering $540,000 to the Washington County Sheriff's Office to fund the state's first adult drug treatment site. Opening the treatment centre addresses the state's heroin and opiate overdose death issue. This also corresponds with the law makers desires to enforce treatment instead of severe drug sentences. Those who are recommended by a judge will be required to attend seminars on life skills and obtaining occupations.They will also receive mediation and professional observation and direction. They will have sporadic drug tests and have a job or be looking for one to continue treatment. It is recommended that delinquents spend a little over 90 days in the therapy sessions over half of the year. If they refuse to cooperate, they face the possibility of being incarcerated. Sheriff Doug Mullendore from the Washington County Sheriff's office said: "The right path for substance addicted offenders is to treat them as individuals who have a medical condition, rather than try to solve the problem through incarceration." A representative from Drug rehab Baltimore said: " This is a great initiative to get more addicts off the street and into treatment and lead them to be productive citizens. The treatment centre is kind of like a rehab but the addicts won't have to spend the night for an extended amount of time.The treatment centre is a great way to get people out of jails who actually do not pose a threat to anyone. Harsh sentences and extensive jail time should be moderated for offenders who are violent and uncontrollable."
