Yvette Guthrie, 32, of Chandler, credits Oklahoma's drug court program with giving her a new life.

A survivor of childhood abuse, Guthrie says she turned to drugs and alcohol as a teenager.

"It was only through the many years of counseling that I got from the drug court program that I was able to deal with my issues and the trauma that happened to me," Guthrie said.

She started drinking at 14. At 18, she used methamphetamine for the first time.
