US MT: Editorial: Families Benefit From Drug Treatment Court
The Billings Gazette, 06 Aug 2012 – The first time District Judge Ingrid Gustafson saw Katy Irmen, the expectant mother was homeless, jobless, addicted to drugs and convicted of felony drug possession. Last week, Irmen appeared again in Gustafson’s courtroom, as she has almost every Thursday for more than a year. But now the slender, 25-year-old mom is clean and sober. She is caring for her 1-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son. They have safe housing in Interfaith Hospitality Network’s transitional apartments. Irmen arranged reliable day care for her children while she works full time. Neat, poised and self-assured, Irmen’s appearance gives no hint of the struggles she waged over the past 14 months.
