When Candace entered the MDP, she was hesitant to trust or open up to others. She felt caught up within the criminal legal system and was in need of assistance. Candace revealed that she had outstanding warrants that she no longer wanted to loom over her everyday life. Candace’s Misdemeanor Diversion Case Manager was able to resolve her outstanding warrants. Furthermore, Candace shared with her Misdemeanor Diversion Case Manager that she was living in a sober living facility and was 4 months sober. She indicated how difficult sobriety had been but that she wished to remain sober. MDP was able to help Candace with rent to remain in the sober living residence. Upon graduating the MDP program, Candace thanked her Misdemeanor Diversion Case Manager as she was, at that point, 6 months sober and was helping others maintain their sobriety as well.
