Adding Addiction Medicine Services to a Drug Treatment Court Program

A Whole Person Approach: Adding Addiction Medicine Services to a Drug Treatment Court Program

This session explores how a successful partnership was formed between addiction medicine providers and a drug treatment court. Presenters will explain how the collaboration began, how it is funded, and how it has been maintained.

Participants will gain insight into day-to-day operations, including team roles and the involvement of medical providers. Practical advice will also be shared for clinicians looking to work with treatment court teams to improve outcomes for justice-involved individuals. Through real-world cases, attendees will explore key challenges, successes, and strategies for building similar partnerships in their own communities.

The target audience for this introductory level activity includes: physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who practice addiction medicine and interact with treatment courts and other aspects of the justice system.
