CLE & CEU: Substance Use Disorders & the Law: Careers that Intersect Therapy and Justice
For over two decades, Drug Courts have led the charge towards a more humane, cost effective justice system. Research demonstrates that Drug Courts provide a highly effective alternative to incarceration for individuals whose involvement in the criminal justice system is rooted in a Substance Use Disorder. By keeping people out of jail and in treatment, Drug Courts have been proven to reduce drug abuse and crime while saving money. Through the stories of people in recovery and professionals in the field, this workshop will explore the impact of Drug Court on individuals and the roles of the professionals who dedicate their lives to restoring people, families and our community.
