The New Leaf Program

05/21/2026

Today the New Leaf Program had the privilege to team up with our Local Geauga County Veteran Service Commission to place flags on the graves of service men and women in honor of Memorial Day. We had a great turnout of participants to help place thousands of flags at All Souls Cemetery! 🇺🇸

So many of our Alumni have just been stopping by the Court to say hi, share how they are doing, and just to catch up… graduating the New Leaf Program is not the end. It’s not about just getting a certificate and getting off Probation. It’s about obtaining the tools to create a life worth living! When you have a GPS you can always find your way…even if some routes take a little longer!

The greatest reward of this program is seeing people grow in ways they never knew were possible! This past couple weeks we have had a flood of alumni stop in to the Court just to say hi. It is incredible. Today was another one of those days and Nazario stopped in to say hi! We were able to show him where his article from graduation is now up on the wall of success stories! Our door is always open to them!

Help us celebrate our three graduates (Nazario, Jesse and Kendra) next week and learn about their amazing recovery journey. Hope to see you there!

The New Leaf Program, the Geauga County Court of Common Pleas’ drug court program, recently honored its newest graduate, Joseph Gandee.

It was another successful Rockin’ with Resources and graduation ceremony for our newest graduate Joe Gandee today despite the rain! Several community members gathered to celebrate Joe’s recovery journey. This year’s Mitch Libster Award went to Commissioner James Dvorak who has given so much to the community and supported the recovery of so many people. Our program is so thankful for the agencies who were in attendance at today’s event. It wouldn’t have been possible without your support! Hope to see everyone again next year!

Love getting to learn from the best experts from across the country and be able to bring back info to put it to work here in Geauga County. Dr. Paul Cary is one of the most respected Toxicologists in the Country and I love learning from him

Today was a unique day at drug court. Our program took a trip to All Souls Cemetery where we were proud to assist the VA to place thousands of flags at the graves of our Veterans in honor of Memorial Day!

Last Thursday, The New Leaf Program was proud to hold a ceremony for 5 new graduates! 🎓❤️

Their stories are excellent reminders of the power of second chances. Not only have they returned as functioning members of society; they’ve become beacons of hope for all who struggle with substance use disorders.
