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.

Upon completion, learners will be able to:

• Explore the implementation of addiction medication as a component of drug treatment court
• Detail a model of pro-active partnerships between a treatment court, a medical doctor's office, and a local pharmacy
• Identify the successes and challenges encountered in forming and maintaining our collaboration
• Conceptualize how similar partnerships may be possible in your community or county
