TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Pima County residents celebrated a special graduation from Pima County’s Drug Court and Attorney’s Office DTAP (Drug Treatment Alternative to Prison).
One of the graduates was Natasha Kofira, a mom of two, who has battled addiction for years.
“I ended up homeless and living on the streets for a couple years. I was so far in a hole that it was impossible for me to get out of,” said Kofira. “It started out with pills and went to cheaper—heroin.”
