Retribution Fund in Georgia Is Added to All Drug and Alcohol Fines in Georgia?
Question by magoo31021: retribution fund in georgia is added to all drug and alcohol fines in georgia?
all counties in ga. has a retribution fund–it is a law that was imposed in 1996 developed for use in drug and alcohol rehabilitation–however, anytime you ask a counties commissioners about it they have no idea what you are talking about–i have scanned through all unannotated law in georgia yet i cannot find it–i know it is there because i had to pay it 8 years ago, and now i am involved with helping recovering addicts–but when you ask any county about this fund the best answer you will get is that it is put into the county general fund which is against the law–any help here?

Oxford Houses assure an alcohol and drug-free living environment. The first Oxford House was started in Silver Spring, Maryland in 1975. Oxford Houses are democratically self-run by the residents who elect officers to serve for terms of six months. In this respect, they are similar to a college fraternity or sorority. However, if a majority of residents believe that any member has relapsed into using alcohol or drugs, that person is immediately expelled. There are no resident counselors in an Oxford House. A recovering individual can live in an Oxford House for as long as he or she does not drink alcohol, does not use drugs, and pays an equal share of the house expenses. The average stay is about a year, but many residents stay three, four, or more years. There is no pressure on anyone in good standing to leave. For folks not quite ready for Oxford House responsibility, or do not currently meet the criteria to be voted into the house, we have Tier 1 houses that can put a roof …
