Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) Awareness 2022 Virtual Conference Series - Treatment Court: A Team Intervention to Support Recovery and Stability

June 22, 2022

Treatment Courts are the single most successful intervention in our nation’s history for leading people living with substance use and mental health disorders out of the justice system and into lives of recovery and stability.  Instead of viewing addiction as a moral failing, they view it as a disease.  Instead of punishment, they offer treatment. 

 

Target Audience

Healthcare providers in internal medicine, family practice, and pain management will benefit from this course.

Learning Objectives

  1. Discuss the history of Treatment Court and its purpose of guiding and supporting people charged with substance use related crimes.
  2. Identify criteria for and requirements to maintain participation in Treatment Court.
  3. Recognize how Treatment Court can encourage compliance with supervision and prevent reincarceration.
