-
Addressing David's Meth Addiction: They wanted to ensure that he received the necessary treatment for his substance abuse issues.
-
Achieving a Favorable Sentence: The family aimed to secure a more lenient sentence from the court than what the guidelines suggested.
-
Securing Low-Security Incarceration: They hoped to have David placed in a low-security prison or camp, which would be more conducive to rehabilitation
Intervention Steps
Rehabilitation Center Engagement
We reached out to reputable inpatient rehabilitation centers and identified an ideal facility located near David’s residence. This proximity would facilitate family visits and support during his recovery process.
Treatment Plan
David entered the rehabilitation program, where he underwent 30 days of intensive treatment focused on overcoming his meth addiction. Following this period, we coordinated aftercare services and connected him with a state-funded psychologist who could provide ongoing support.
Outcome
Court Outcome
David’s commitment to his recovery did not go unnoticed by the judicial system. As a result of his proactive approach and demonstrated efforts towards rehabilitation, the judge sentenced him below the initial guidelines, resulting in a 72-month sentence instead of the expected longer term.
Incarceration Arrangements
Early Release Prison Consultants played a crucial role in securing a low-security camp for David’s incarceration. Additionally, he qualified for participation in drug and alcohol programs while incarcerated, which further reduced his time by an additional 12 months.
Final Release
Ultimately, David will only serve 28 months of his 72-month sentence due to successful rehabilitation efforts and favorable court considerations.

This case highlights the importance of comprehensive support systems in navigating legal challenges related to substance abuse.
