David Thompson was the first drug offender to enter Roanoke City's Drug

The program is the first of its kind in the state.
It allows some non-violent drug offenders to plead guilty and receive
treatment instead of jail time.

But those involved with drug court say it isn't a walk in the park.
Initially the offenders submit to several drug tests a week, plus visits
with probation officers and meetings with counselors.
Violation of curfews or missed meeting are punished.
((JUDGE DIANE STRICKLAND/DRUG COURT: WE HAVE A SERIES OF INTERNAL SANCTIONS
THAT HAVE BEEN AGREED UPON BY THE STAFF OF THE DAY REPORTING CENTER. I'M HERE

((JUDGE STRICKLAND: WE COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER PERFORMANCE THAN WHAT YOU'VE

Praise plays a big part in the drug court program.
Probation officers say this is often the first positive reinforcement
participants have received.
((THOMPSON: WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY YOUR HONOR.
