Cherokee Friends of Recovery Foundation, Inc.
Rehabilitation through Judicial Supervision
     The Cherokee Friends of Recovery Foundation, Inc. was formed by a group of citizens in Cherokee County wanting to reduce the number of traffic accidents and injuries related to drunk drivers on our highways. But, most importantly, possibly saving the lives of someone we love. The DUI/Drug Treatment Court was initialized by the Honorable C.J. Gober, and has since become a program of the Cherokee County Friends of Recovery Foundation, Inc.
 
     The Cherokee Friends of Recovery Foundation’s goals are to protect the safety of all citizens from drunk drivers. Alcoholism and drug abuse is a significant part of today’s dunk driving problem and we need to recognize that treatment works. If the problem of drunk driving is not corrected, the endless and deadly circle of drunk driving will never end. The DUI/Drug Treatment Court can provide the needed intervention to get hardcore drunk drivers into necessary treatment as a way to help stop recidivism. With the population growth of Cherokee County, drunk drivers are expected to increase; however, with the success of the DUI/Drug Treatment Court, participants are given the opportunity to become productive members of our community.

     Cherokee Friends of Recovery Foundation, Inc. was approved as a non-profit status as of May 30, 2007. For additional information about the foundation, please contact Ms. Lynn Epps at 678-493-6450. Please donate and help us keep our community safe from drunk drivers.
