Mother-daughter
duo in drug court
By Di Lewis
April 06, 2006| LOGAN -- Rosemary Fritz, 44, was ordered
to get more information on a detoxification center in
Ogden, and her daughter, Alison Fritz, 19, was told
she couldn't be admitted to drug court until she moved
out of her mother's house.
The decisions came from Judge Thomas L. Willmore on
Tuesday afternoon when the women came into drug court.
Before she can be admitted into drug court for treatment
programs, Alison Fritz must find a separate place to
live, said Willmore.
"You can't associate with your mother if you come
into drug court," said Willmore. He said that because
she was using methamphetamine with her mother, she shouldn't
be around her while she was completing a drug court
treatment program.
He also said Alison Fritz must give a urinary analysis
at the Bear River Health Department to show that she
is no longer using methamphetamines. Willmore told Alison
Fritz that she should call the Bear River Health Department
every day to see if she has a random drug test that
day.
Rosemary Fritz told Willmore that she didn't want
to go to the Logan detoxification center because she
didn't like the use of methadone to treat patients.
"I don't want to get sick from sudden withdrawals,"
she said.
A detoxification center in Ogden has a step-down program
for methamphetamine addiction that she said she was
investigating. Willmore ordered Rosemary Fritz to get
more information on the center and report to him next
week about the center's treatment program.
