Cody Ellis entered the Recovery Court program in July 2024, after abusing drugs since age 14. His former recovery court coordinator, Amanda Snyder, said, "when he fell, he got back up." Navigating the program as a person with trust issues was difficult, according to Ellis, but he is now a recovery court graduate, and said he can trust people now. Members of Ellis' family were in Belknap Superior Court Tuesday, to celebrate his commencement. Ellis graduated from the program with secure employment and housing. He told current participants, "Trust these people, you'll get it back."
