increase understanding of how the
Michigan 16 ROSC Principles and the 10 Key
Components for Drug Courts work together.
 To describe how having a Recovery Coach
housed within the Recovery Court improves
connections with the recovery community.
 To describe how the ROSC holistic model
impacts community wellness.
 Michigan’s
recovery-oriented system of care
supports an individual’s journey toward
recovery and wellness by creating and
sustaining networks of formal and informal
services and supports. The opportunities
established through collaboration,
partnership, and a broad array of services
promote life-enhancing recovery and wellness
for individuals, families, and communities.

Adopted by the ROSC Transformation Steering Committee, September 30, 2010.
 The
mission of drug courts is to stop the
abuse of alcohol and other drugs and related
criminal activity. Drug courts offer a
compelling choice for individuals whose
criminal justice involvement stems from AOD
use: participation in treatment. In exchange
for successful completion of the treatment
program, the court may dismiss the original
charge, reduce or set aside a sentence, offer
some lesser penalty, or offer a combination of
these.

Defining Drug Courts: The Key Components

 ROSC is a philosophy shift that focuses on
Recovery Management over the lifespan,
instead of acute treatment episodes
