Thursday was a day for celebration for 13 students.

The Sixth Hamblen County Treatment Courts Graduation came with the graduation of nine students from the Recovery Court, a husband and wife from the General Sessions Mental Health Court and two students from the Northeast Tennessee Felony Court located in Carter County.

The graduation was hosted by nonprofit Recovery Support Services.

It was created by Judge Beth Boniface’s vision for the need to provide crucial recovery support services to participants that could not be met with government funding.

RSS provides affordable sober living housing with currently 59 beds available to participants who do not have a safe, sober living environment to reside in when they begin the Treatment Court Program.
