H.O.P.E. Drug Court Participant Helps The Douglas County Juvenile Programs (Photo) -07/09/25

ROSEBURG, OR – A H.O.P.E. Drug Court participant has chosen to help the Douglas County Juvenile Department Programs for the Detention Center, Rising Light and River Rock to seek recreational equipment, board and card games, walking/hiking shoes, and swimwear/goggles for youth utilizing the programs.

 

Robert Bryant, HOPE Drug Court participant, stated, “Legacy is not the sum of our achievements.  Legacy is what our children will say about us when we are gone.  My project is called Legacy of Hope, and the goal is to help children in the Juvenile Department programs.  The need for a child to make and have connection within their community, my community, is without parallel.  In my own childhood that lack of connection led me to seek it in other places, in drugs, but by giving kids the chance to make connections to the community before seeking it as I did, brings me hope.  I want the need for connection to be fulfilled so they feel complete, worthy, and see value in themselves.  Together, we can give the opportunity for these things, and our actions show them we see their value, worth, potential, and the situation they are in as a product of poor choices, not bad kids. Action is an idea in motion, and children will not remember what we thought or what we said as much as what we showed them.  Please join me and help show these kids what it means to do the right thing when nobody may even see.”

 

The Juvenile Department plays a vital role in promoting public safety while ensuring that youth who commit law violations are held accountable for their actions. The department’s primary mission is to provide opportunities for restoration—not just for the youth, but also for their victims and the broader community.

 

Key functions of the department include:

• Accountability: Holding youth accountable for their delinquent behavior through a fair and constructive process.
• Restorative Justice: Offering opportunities for youth to make amends through restorative practices that focus on healing and repair.
• Reformation Services: Providing support and services to help youth become productive and responsible citizens, guiding them on a path toward personal growth and a positive future.
• Child Abuse and Neglect Cases: Assisting the District Attorney’s Office in the processing of child abuse and neglect cases through the court system, ensuring justice and protection for vulnerable children.
• Behavior Rehabilitative Services: Two residential programs for youth in foster care, ages 13-17, provide access to individualized treatment planning, mental health therapy, substance use counseling, education services, and opportunities for recreation while working towards stabilization with the goal of transitioning back to the care of a family member, community resource home, or independent living program.

 

Through these efforts, the Juvenile Department works tirelessly to help youth rebuild their lives, while fostering a safer and stronger community for everyone. “Giving back to the community in this way, is a complete WIN-WIN. Mr. Bryant is making huge strides in a life changing program that truly leaves a legacy. The youth he will impact by supplying prosocial sports and recreation equipment will last for years to come.  By providing these items for our youth we can teach them, show them, play beside them and from that they will learn patience, sportsmanship, teamwork, skills, self-worth, and more. This is restorative Justice at its best.” says Juvenile Department Director Wendy Lang.

 

The Juvenile Detention and Residential Facility provides secure housing and residential programming for youth offenders. The Detention Unit has a capacity of 32 beds and includes a 30-day extended detention program. This unit serves as a critical resource for ensuring public safety and holding youth accountable for their actions. Youth are admitted to the Detention Unit through referrals from law enforcement agencies or by court order. The Residential Programs offers a less secure environment and can accommodate up to 16 youth from the foster care system.   Jessica Epp, Juvenile Services Manager added, “The youth in our Residential programs come to us from all over the state of Oregon to receive intensive behavior rehabilitative services. Providing them with opportunities for recreation and activities is essential to their treatment and well-being. We are so grateful for Mr. Bryant choosing our department as the recipient of donations that will support our youth and allow them the chance to continue to engage in activities that they enjoy or learn about new sports and games that they have not been able to try yet.”

 

HOPE Drug Court Participant Launches Sports & Recreation Drive for Local Youth

Mr. Bryant, a Douglas County H.O.P.E. Drug Court participant, is leading a sports and recreation equipment drive to support youth in the local Douglas County Juvenile Department programs.  His mission is rooted in the belief that staying physically and mentally active helps young people reduce stress, build positive habits, strengthen peer relationships, and learn skills that promote better choices and reduce recidivism.

• Badminton sets, disc golf discs, tennis racquets and balls

The efforts are focused on collecting much-needed dog and cat food, as well as monetary donations to benefit the shelter and the animals in its care.  This meaningful project not only supports a vital community organization but also reflects the participant’s personal growth and commitment to giving back.

 

Cyn Demers, Saving Grace Development and Communications Manager, said, “We’re so excited for this fundraiser and appreciate Erik for choosing Saving Grace.  Support like this means the world to us, especially right now, as we’re in the midst of kitten season and hearing from more people every day who need help.  Community-led fundraising projects like Erik’s make a real impact for the animals in our care.  Donations of pet food and other supplies are always needed and directly support our lifesaving work.”  A special Saving Grace fundraiser page has been created for funds to go directly to their program by using this web link: donation page.

Erik Andersen, H.O.P.E. Drug Court participant, stated, “My graduate project involving donations for Saving Grace is important to me because when everything else seemed to fall apart, my dogs were there to cheer me up without judgement or disappointment.  All they needed was my love and attention.  It’s great to come home to dogs that just can’t wait to see you.  No matter what I was going through, I think all pet owners can relate to why this project is important.”

H.O.P.E. Drug Court Participant Partners with ODHS for Family Reunification

 

ROSEBURG, OR – A H.O.P.E. Drug Court participant has partnered with ODHS (Oregon Department of Human Services) to collect needed items for families going through the reunification process through a community project called “Families United in Hope” emphasizing the importance of having items to assist with the bonding process.

 

Ashley Alexander, HOPE Drug Court participant, chose to help the Child Welfare Division through ODHS.  “I am doing this project as I was once in the shoes of those parents feeling worthless like there was no way possible to get through the beginning stages of recovery, but as long as we stay willing and accept the help and support we are given, it is possible.  I am here to help the parents believe in themselves and rebuild their relationships with their children,” stated Alexander.

 

About the Project: Supporting Family Visits

The mission of the Child Welfare Division is to ensure every child and family is empowered to live a safe, stable, and healthy life. One key part of that mission is supporting meaningful connections during family visits, especially when parents are visiting their child(ren) in an office setting. 

 

“The ODHS, Child Welfare Program is honored to assist H.O.P.E. Drug Court Participant, Ms. Alexander in meeting her goal of supporting quality family time between parents and children in foster care.  Maintaining the critical bond and relationship between parents and children as they experience the trauma of family separation is of paramount concern, and her investment in supporting and encouraging parents while they are on this difficult journey could not be more supported and welcomed by us,” stated Jessia Hunter, ODHS Child Welfare Program Manager.

 

This project aims to provide support for parents who may not have anything to bring with them during these visits. Each participating family will receive a bag of items designed to assist with the bonding process, making the visit more engaging and comforting. Additionally, a photo of the child(ren) and parent(s) will be taken during the visit and given to both parties to keep, helping maintain connection while they are apart.  Mary Guthrie, Recovery Support Team Coordinator, ODHS Child Welfare – Douglas County, added, “Ms. Alexander is giving back to other parents for them to understand how important they are and know “They Matter”.  Change is possible with honesty, open-mindedness and willingness.”

 

For more information about the Child Welfare Division, please visit the Oregon Department of Human Services: https://www.oregon.gov/dhs/children/pages/index.aspx.

 

Ms. Alexander is hosting a car wash event on Saturday, July 12, from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. in Sherm’s Thunderbird parking lot to raise funds for her upcoming project during the Graffiti Cruise weekend. All proceeds will go toward purchasing the remaining items needed to complete the project.

  First Floor of the Courthouse
  1036 SE Douglas Avenue, Room CH 105A
• Adapt Integrated Healthcare

• Clint Newell Motors

Items Needed to Support Family Reunification Visits

She hopes to receive donations of the following:

H.O.P.E. Drug Court Participant Helps Crossroads Program (Photo) -06/30/25

ROSEBURG, OR – A participant in the H.O.P.E. Drug Court program has chosen to support Adapt’s Crossroads program as part of her Graduate Community Project.

 

“At Crossroads, our mission is to provide personalized and compassionate care to all those who struggle with substance use disorders. But it takes a community to realize this goal of helping others achieve recovery,” said Paul Robertson, B.S., CADC II, Residential Program Director.

 

“In today’s climate, we’re serving an ever-growing population—many of whom arrive with very few personal belongings. Recovery is already challenging, and starting that journey without adequate clothing, hygiene products, shoes, or other basic necessities can make it exponentially harder.  We’re proud to be able to provide many of these items to our clients, thanks in large part to the generosity and hard work of our community partners and friends. Tanaya and her HOPE Drug Court project are a perfect example of how the efforts of a few can forever impact the lives of many. Thank you for supporting our mission and the individuals we serve.”

 

About Crossroads Residential Treatment Program
Since 1982, Adapt has provided adult residential treatment for substance use through its Crossroads program. Crossroads delivers compassionate, personalized care to adult men and women in a safe, secure, and therapeutic environment.

 

Recognizing that everyone’s journey is unique, the skilled medical and behavioral health team at Crossroads offers a wide range of evidence-based services, including:

• Detoxification treatment
• Treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders
• Chronic pain management
• Tobacco dependence treatment

This integrated, individualized approach ensures a respectful and healing experience for all participants.  To learn more about the program, go to Adult Residential – Adapt Oregon.

 

Tanaya Hulsey, a participant in the HOPE Drug Court program, has chosen to support Crossroads as the focus of her community project.

“I would like all individuals to be able to participate in sober living activities while in treatment. I know I did,” said Hulsey. “Now, I have friends and connections that are still a part of my life—people I met while starting out in the Crossroads inpatient program.”

 

Through her efforts, Tanaya hopes to give others the same opportunity for connection, healing, and growth that she experienced.

H.O.P.E. Drug Court Participant Creates Wound Care Kits (Photo) -06/27/25

ROSEBURG, OR – A H.O.P.E. Drug Court participant has started a Hope and Healing Drive to collect needed wound care items for people in the community who utilize the Connecting Point Mobile Navigation Program services and Adapt’s Opiod Treatment Program.

 

Samuel Denney, RN, MSN, Director of Opioid Treatment Programs – Douglas and Coos County, said, “A vast majority of individuals enrolled in our care are unhoused without immediate access to healthcare. Patients suffer from the societal stigma of homelessness and substance abuse treatment, leading them to not access Urgent Care or Emergency Services. These minor wound kits are crucial for patients to utilize in prevention of treatable ailments becoming secondary or worsening infections. These kits will allow for patients to provide basic first aid without having to access primary, urgent, or emergency services. Kits donated to our program will provide protection for our society’s most vulnerable populations and will be an enormous help in offsetting the lack of healthcare access experienced by our patients.”

 

Adapt’s Opioid Treatment Program: Restoring Hope and Health

Adapt’s Opioid Treatment Program provides science-based, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using methadone and buprenorphine—two of the most effective medications available for treating opioid use disorder.

A dedicated team of physicians, nurses, and counselors deliver both stabilizing medications and comprehensive rehabilitative services, helping individuals regain stability, health, and hope as they navigate recovery.

It's our number one item at the Connecting Point when we do Outreach and have supplied 652 kits in 2025. The impact of this project will expand our abilities as we have recently expanded into Reedsport with a monthly event. We are now in six Douglas County communities to help overcome transportation and access to connection to care.”
