Facing legal challenges can make seeking treatment feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Dedicato Treatment Center assists individuals with legal issues related to substance use, including support for those facing DUI matters, court-related requirements, employer referrals, and other substance-related legal concerns. We understand that the legal system, your employer, or the court may be asking you to get help — and we’re here to guide you through both treatment and the recovery process while navigating these challenges. Our team can help you:
Taking this step isn’t just about satisfying a requirement. It’s about reclaiming your life. Let us walk beside you from fear to freedom.

Receiving professional recognition from both places Dr. Keith L. Marshall’s work in a rare class of independently authored books that have earned elite third-party validation for literary merit, market credibility, and adaptation potential.
Dr. Keith Marshall has written his personal story of triumph over 23 years of addiction and self-destructive thinking and behaviors in his biography From Dumpster to Doctor a True Story of Perseverance from Fear to Freedom”. After 23 years of getting high on drugs and self-medicating, being homeless and hiding behind dumpsters, being shot in the head and stabbed multiple times and many other near-death situations, going in and out of jails and institutions, Dr. Marshall was able to break free from addiction.
He went back to school for nine years and earned a Doctorate Degree in Clinical Psychology and three professional addiction certifications. He has continued to lead a life of purpose and meaning by sharing the gift of recovery with others at his own addiction recovery facility, Dedicato Treatment Center.
Dr. Marshall offers his personal journey in order to inspire others to take that very difficult first step in choosing to live a life free from addiction, trauma, or any other human developmental struggles that holds them bound. If you are thinking of recovery, but are afraid, we encourage you to read Dr. Marshall’s story. If you are inspired by his story to recover, then we welcome you to work with Dr. Marshall here at the Dedicato Treatment Center. Dr. Marshall is here actively and personally working with every patient to help them on their own unique journey from fear to freedom.
does not waste one second expressing poetic fluff many self-help books use to solicit readers. At the onset of his introduction, author Dr. Keith L. Marshall states point blank he wants us to understand the power of our conscious and subconscious thoughts in every dimension of life, be it spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, or social. The idea is to assist those who desire to achieve liberation from negative thinking patterns that yield poor behaviors, to become sensitive to the power of thoughts and become more productive.
The First Responder Wellness & Resilience Workbook is an evidence-based, practical resource designed for first responders facing cumulative stress, critical incidents, disrupted sleep, substance-use risks, and the emotional demands of serving others. Through structured exercises addressing triggers, coping, emotional regulation, relationships, relapse prevention, accountability, and resilience, the workbook moves beyond simply talking about problems to helping individuals read, write, reflect, process, and apply healthier responses.
Built around Dr. Marshall’s principle that honesty is the taproot of meaningful change, the workbook uses Introspection, Retrospection, and Correction to help individuals recognize unhealthy patterns and make intentional changes. Designed for independent or collaborative use with peer-support, wellness, counseling, and treatment professionals, it is ultimately a working tool for turning insight into action and building sustainable wellness and resilience.
The Self-Discovery and Recovery Workbook is an evidence-informed, practical guide designed to help individuals move beyond simply stopping unhealthy behaviors and begin understanding the thinking, experiences, choices, and patterns that drive them. Through guided self-examination, the workbook addresses substance use and relapse prevention, denial, triggers, cognitive distortions, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationships, social support, healthy coping, personal responsibility, and spiritual awareness—helping individuals become active participants in their own recovery and personal growth.
Built around Dr. Marshall’s principle that honesty is the taproot of recovery and meaningful change, the workbook uses Introspection, Retrospection, and Correction to help individuals look within, understand what has shaped them, and intentionally change what is within their power to change. Designed for independent use or collaborative work with counselors, therapists, peer-support professionals, and treatment teams, it transforms self-discovery into action—because sustainable recovery requires more than talking about change; it requires actively participating in it.
