Six valley residents are taking a big step forward in their battle with drugs.
The group graduated Wednesday morning from the Mahoning County Common Pleas Drug Court.
On hand to congratulate each one was Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, who started the first adult felony drug court in Franklin County.
Each graduate went through at least a year of rehabilitation and is required to be at least six months sober to receive their diploma.
They also have to be in school or have a job to finish the program.
