Duration: Half-day session - afternoon

Training Group:

Description: 

Criminal justice systems in many countries are overwhelmed by the increasing numbers of persons who have substance use disorders. Over half of persons in most criminal justice systems have a diagnosable substance use disorder and need drug treatment. These persons are frequently arrested, incarcerated, or placed on supervised release in the community, typically without access to quality drug treatment. If treatment is available it is often of poor quality, resulting in relapse and cycling back into criminal courts and into short- and long-term incarceration. This diminishes the credibility of drug treatment and encourages the belief that treatment is ineffective and a waste of resources. Fortunately, a considerable amount of clinical research has recently been conducted to identify effective treatment approaches. This workshop will explore evidence-based approaches for screening, assessment, treatment (including cognitive-behavioral and pharmacological interventions, and those that address criminality and risk for recidivism), case management, and reentry services that can help to interrupt the cycle of drug use and crime. The workshop will also identify criminal justice treatment services that are not effective.

Duration: Full, 1-day session
