Delbert Boone - Locked Up: The Best Place to Treat Addiction

Delbert Boone is one of the nation’s foremost authorities on addiction and criminal behavior, an identity established through his ability to consistently help drug offenders and substance abuse counselors understand the parallels between addiction and criminal behavior. Since 1995, Boone has been honored with seven International Telly Awards and recognized for outstanding contributions at four American Corrections Association Film Festivals for his video programs.

Over the last twenty-five years Boone has worked with addicts from all walks of life and by relating his own struggles with addiction to heroin and incarceration, he has given hope where there previously was none. Boone has developed the tools to help individuals who are seriously challenged by life.

Boone’s primary work is through his own consulting and training firm NND Productions, in which he consults with both local and federal correctional systems, as well as school districts and law enforcement officials nationwide to deliver quality and effective substance abuse treatment programs and services.
