In this episode, Scott sits down with Morgan, a Drug Court Coordinator, and Sam, a therapist with the Department of Health and Human Services, for an honest look at how recovery, mental health, and accountability intersect.

They talk about what drug court really looks like, the challenges people face while navigating substance use and trauma, and why support systems matter just as much as structure. This conversation offers insight into the work happening behind the scenes — where compassion meets responsibility and real change begins.
