Setting the Standard Annual Training Conference Washington, DC July 27-30, 2015 Setting the Standard Annual Training Conference Welcome Drug Court Family! Welcome to the world’s largest conference on substance abuse, mental health, and the justice system. The NADCP Annual Conference is your forum to learn and celebrate; to acknowledge and give thanks; to reenergize and educate. As a field and a movement, you work every day saving lives, reuniting families, and restoring communities. NADCP is your national membership organization and your resource. We work all year to provide you with the most current publications, training, and technical assistance, and we will not rest until there is a Drug Court, DWI Court, Tribal Healing to Wellness Court, and Veterans Treatment Court within reach of every person in need. To further that goal, this week we are proud to introduce Volume 2 of the Adult Drug Court Best Practice Standards. You, your court, and NADCP are setting the standard. Thank you for your support and encouragement in the development of this groundbreaking publication. Together we will ensure Drug Courts continue as the foundation of evidence based justice system reform. As we gather this week, prepare to make new friends, reconnect with old friends, educate your Members of Congress, gather resources, learn cutting–edge information, and reenergize. You make a difference every day. From all of us at NADCP, thank you. Enjoy the conference!

This year’s conference includes opportunities for disciplines to meet and resolve burning issues and critical questions. Starting on Monday morning at 7:30 am, enjoy continental breakfast in the Drug Court Expo located at Prince George’s Exhibition Hall E and report to the breakout designated for your discipline. An expert practitioner who shares your role on the team will facilitate the breakout.

The Anonymous People is a feature documentary film about the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. Deeply entrenched social stigma and discrimination have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades. The moving story of The Anonymous People is told through the faces and voices of the leaders, volunteers, corporate executives, and celebrities who are laying it all on the line to save the lives of others just like them. This passionate new public recovery movement is fueling a changing conversation that aims to transform public opinion, and finally shift problematic policy toward lasting recovery solutions. The screening will be followed by audience dialogue with a panel of recovery advocates, including some of those featured in the documentary. And the popcorn is on us! Moderator Terrence D.

Fundamentals of Implementing Your Drug Court Mental Health Courts: From Implementation to Operation Implementing an Adult Drug Court takes the initiative and cooperation of a diverse group of players.

This track also provides the scientific principles and best practices to ensure that any Drug Court is built on a solid foundation to ensure success and sustainability.

TRACK 3 Juvenile Drug Courts: Building on Our Success Juvenile Drug Courts are a critical part of every juvenile justice system. They provide a unique partnership focused on the future of our communities. What is the best way to engage juveniles and their families? What is considered developmentally appropriate, gender-specific, culturally relevant, and evidence-based treatment? What roles do schools and the faith community play? Whether you are considering developing a Juvenile Drug Court, or your Juvenile Drug Court is in operation, this track is for you. Learn from national researchers as well as subject matter experts about the latest research and effective approaches to dealing with adolescent populations. 28 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE Almost half of all addicted persons in the justice system have a co-occurring mental illness, and over 70 percent of incarcerated mentally ill persons wrestle with addiction. This track highlights the fundamental issues needed to understand and develop a Mental Health Court.

Whether you’re looking for the research on outcomes, tips on case management, or what evidence-based treatment is available, this track is not to be missed. TRACK 6 Ensuring Cultural Proficiency: More Than Just Awareness Culture is everywhere around us. It is how we dress, what we choose to eat, and what music we enjoy. It shapes our past, present, and future. It is essential to recognize and understand the culture of our Drug Court participants in order to shape their future. It follows that we will enhance our effectiveness by becoming culturally proficient. It is so simple to see, but so challenging to implement.

TRACK 7 The Facts and Nothing But the Facts: Critical Role of Research There is no doubt—Drug Court works. This track offers details into national and statewide evaluations, along with tips for operating courts on how to incorporate successful strategies. Fostering partnership with practitioners and researchers is critical toward improving Drug Court outcomes. Don’t miss the opportunity to Drug Court participants are very sophisticated consumers of their drug of choice. They select from a myriad of drugs whose effects are widely varied. Although it is critical for treatment providers to understand the effects of these drugs, all Drug Court professionals need to be trained in their impact on supervision, case management, drug testing and treatment planning. Learn the latest in pharmacology and research findings to enhance programming and improve partnerships in your community. TRACK 9 The Good, The Bad, and The Effective: Incentives and Sanctions Incentives and sanctions are essential to every Drug Court. When properly used, they are a powerful tool for improving client behavior and outcomes. Drug Courts achieve better outcomes when practitioners understand the science behind behavior management. The research is clear: managing participant behavior includes the development of graduated and individualized motivational strategies, as well as consequences to hold participants accountable for failing to meet programmatic goals. Incentives and sanctions imposed in the courtroom have an impact not only on the individual appearing before the judge, but also on the other Drug Court members present. After attending the sessions on this track, you will understand the “why” behind behavior modification, along with “how” to implement the skills and knowledge. TRACK 10 Supervision: The Challenges Faced by Probation and Law Enforcement Law enforcement, probation, and other community supervision partnerships are critical to any successful Drug Court.

DWI Court is based on the proven Drug Court model, however, DWI Court participants are different than Drug Court participants, and understanding those differences is critical for any DWI Court. If your Drug Court is considering starting a DWI Court, or you are updating an established DWI program, then this track is for you.

TRACK 18 Advanced Issues in Drug and Alcohol Treatment One size definitely does not fit all. As in many things, this is so true in effective drug and alcohol treatment. This track identifies a variety of treatment methods, along with insight into some specific and complex issues with which many Drug Court clients struggle. TRACK 19 Learning from Native Traditions: Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts Tribal healing to wellness courts are profound expressions of sovereign, self-determining nations. Such courts have become an important part of a long, often perilous, and amazing Nation rebuilding process that began for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities after centuries of war, oppression, and resistance. Consequently, the impact of a Tribal Drug Court is complex and multi-faceted affecting multigenerational attitudes and perceptions about alcohol and other drugs, addressing historical trauma and unresolved grief, acting as a tool to restore tribal values, expanding tribal justice systems, improving state-tribal and federaltribal relationships, and restoring individuals to their rightful place as contributing members to the tribal community. Sessions in the tribal track will convey the complexities and nuances of Tribal Healing/Wellness Courts and contain useful information for both state and tribal practitioners.

Speaker(s) Tara Casanova Powell Director of Research Traffic Injury Research Foundation USA Hamden, Connecticut Julie Tison Senior Research Scientist Pruesser Research Group Trumbull, Connecticut SESSION SB-2 Data, Evaluation, and Fidelity to the Model: Best Practices Chesapeake GHI The research is clear: Drug Court works. But does your Drug Court work? Is your program collecting data on participants? What data? Do you have an evaluation plan? Does your court do process and outcome evaluations? This session will outline the best practices in collecting data and evaluating your Drug Court program and optimizing caseload size, ensuring that your court is keeping fidelity to the Ten Key Components. One of the critical issues discussed will be the importance of maintaining fidelity to the Drug Court model as your program grows—as research demonstrates that programs tend to stray from the model at around 125 participants. A group of national experts will review the research and give practical advice on how to build a system to collect data, evaluate your Drug Court, and ensure program success. Objectives • Understand the importance of collecting data and performing evaluations. • How to monitor and maintain fidelity to the model in a large program. • Learn strategies for implementing or enhancing data collection and evaluation in your Drug Court.

Senior Director NCDC Alexandria, Virginia 37 Setting the Standard MONDAY SESSION SB-5 Annual Training Conference SESSION SB-6 Family Drug Court: Best Practices Target Population: Best Practices National Harbor 10 Maryland A In 1997, the Office of Justice Programs of the U.S. Department of Justice identified 10 key components of drug courts, providing jurisdictions with a framework for developing and refining their drug courts programs for criminal offenders with substance use disorders. NADCP published in 2013 Adult Drug Court best practice standards that quantify some of the key components. Most recently, Children and Family Futures released Family Drug Court Guidelines to help states and programs create practice and systems changes that will have a lasting impact on FDCs and the families they serve. This workshop session will examine best practice research and relate it to the 10 Key Components and the 10 FDC Guidelines. Through activities and small group discussion this interactive presentation will use the FDC Self Assessment Tool to explore how FDC Guidelines and research based best practices can be used to enhance both practice-level and systems-level change. When implementing and operating a successful Drug Court, one of the first and most critical questions is “Who will the court serve?” The research is clear. Drug Courts are best designed and most successful when serving high risk/high need populations, that is, those participants with high criminogenic risk and high prognostic need. In fact, every component of your Drug Court program, from treatment to incentives/sanctions to case management will be integrally connected with targeting the appropriate population. But how do you identify high risk/high need participants? How do you ensure your program is targeting these individuals? This presentation will outline the research on high risk/ high need, and will further discuss and explain how to ensure your program targets the correct population. Objectives • Explore the FDC Guidelines and how they converge and diverge with 10 Key Adult Drug Court Components and Adult Drug Court Best Practice Standards. • Gain understanding on how to use the FDC Guidelines and best practices to make both practicelevel and systems-level changes. • Learn how states and local jurisdictions can use FDC Guidelines and best practice standards and strategies to improve FDC practice.

Chico, California Vanessa Price Law Enforcement Inspector, Ret. Chair – Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Charles R. Robinson Chief Probation Officer - Director Travis County Community Supervision and Correction Department Austin, Texas Abuse of prescription opiates is at epidemic proportions-and not coincidentally, heroin use is increasing rapidly. Emergency rooms and first responders are reporting ever increasing cases of opiate overdoses. Part one of this session will review the recent history and current state of opiate abuse and dependence in the United States, including the most current information on evidence based treatment when dealing with those addicted to opiates. Part two of this session will educate practitioners on Naloxone (e.g., Narcan®). Naloxone is a medication used to counter the effects of opioid overdose. Although traditionally administered by first-responders, take-home naloxone programs have been established in approximately 200 communities throughout the U.S. Naloxone has no potential for abuse, it can be dispensed with minimal training via injection or nose spray; making it the ideal overdose countermeasure for anyone who is in contact with an opioid user. Objectives • Understand the surge in opiate use in the United States. • Identify evidence based treatment for opioid dependence. • Learn about Naloxone a tool to prevent overdose incidents from becoming fatalities.

William Meyer Judge/Senior Judicial Fellow Judicial Arbiter Group Denver, Colorado Maryland C One of the problems with going to a conference is that, no matter how much you learn, only some of your questions are likely to be answered, and more are likely to arise. Because many other audience members want to ask questions, you are likely to have only one or two of your own answered during the question and answer period. This session is different: an expert in the fields of adolescent and adult trauma and substance abuse will devote the entire time to answering your questions about trauma, PTSD, alcohol and drug abuse, and their frequent co-occurring problems, including depression, traumatic brain injuries, insomnia, pain, and school/ work, child welfare, family, and legal problems. Join us for an informative and entertaining session in which you can ask and get not only your questions answered, but also learn some surprising information and tips spurred by the questions of others.

Speaker(s) Emily Harris Program Associate, Courts Program Council of State Governments Justice Center New York, New York 60 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE Mental health treatment services are increasingly incorporating principles of recovery, defined by SAMHSA as a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. Recovery principles, reflected in federal, state and local mental health policies, are revolutionizing the way we look at mental illness and its treatment, offering greater hope and stronger client engagement. But these principles may seem foreign and even troubling to criminal justice practitioners, and treatment court teams may be reluctant to link individuals under court supervision to community-based programs that promote autonomy and empowerment. This workshop will explore the ways that recovery principles can not only be reconciled with Drug Court and Mental Health Court policies and procedures but also promote better outcomes for participants with mental illnesses. Topics will include (1) a summary of Mental Health Court research, which demonstrates a weak connection between traditional treatment of symptoms of mental illness and reductions in criminal behavior; (2) the importance of procedural justice – which emphasizes dignity, voice, understanding and neutrality in the court process – in reducing recidivism; (3) common treatment court practices that incorporate recovery principles; and (4) adaptations of recovery principles for individuals under court supervision that bridge the potential gaps between treatment courts and recovery-oriented treatment providers. The panelists will bring perspectives and examples from multiple disciplines and states. Objectives • Identify SAMHSA’s recovery principles and understand the potential tensions with criminal justice system goals. • Understand the core principles of procedural justice, its impact on recidivism, and its relationship with recovery principles. • Learn strategies for incorporating recovery principles into treatment court policies and procedures to improve outcomes.

Speaker(s) Steve Hanson Director Division of Treatment and Practice Innovation, Bureau of Addiction Treatment Centers Rochester, New York SESSION A-9 Critical Role of Risk/Need in Building Incentives and Sanctions Maryland C The research is clear: Drug Courts should focus on individuals with high prognostic risks and criminogenic needs. But how does dealing with someone who has high risk/needs impact how your court delivers incentives and sanctions? What if you mix lower risk and needs populations with higher risk and needs populations? Will your incentives and sanctions have the same impact? This session discusses the importance of risk/need assessment and its relationship to delivering effective incentives and sanctions in your Drug Court. Objectives • Identify the relationship between prognostic risk, criminogenic need, and incentives/sanctions. • Understand how to effectively deliver incentives and sanctions to a high risk/high need population.

Lawrence Lujan Judge Ysleta del Sur Pueblo El Paso, Texas Mark Panasiewicz Treatment Provider Keweenaw Bay Indian Community West Hollywood, California Five Ways to Wreck Your Career: Ethics for Treatment Providers Maryland B Treatment professionals are tasked with assisting individuals whose substance involvement has left them temporarily vulnerable to exploitation, coercion, enmeshment, and a variety of other perils. In many respects those involved in the criminal justice system are especially at-risk as the power balance between participant and helper is tilted heavily to the helper. This reality places a special burden on practitioners to structure programs and practices to encourage ethical conduct. However even the well-intentioned may find themselves in sticky situations that threaten careers, families, and reputations. This interactive presentation will provide strategies for recognizing and resolving vexing ethical dilemmas.

They are a unified method to operations that link the problem at hand with associated goals, objectives, program activities, outputs, and outcomes. Logic models also serve as a yardstick against which evaluators measure a program’s progress, and can be used by programs to measure their own progress. But how can a logic model be effectively used to assess program implementation? Further, does a program’s fidelity to the logic model even matter? Using experiences from their work on the National Cross-Site Evaluation of Juvenile Drug Courts (JDC) and Reclaiming Futures (RF), the presenters will describe the utility of logic models when conducting a process evaluation. Specifically, the presenters will discuss their methodology used to develop a scale that examines the extent to which participating evaluation 70 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE Annual Training Conference sites adhered to the JDC/RF logic model and implemented the model with fidelity. This process involved the evaluation team creating measures for logic model components and scoring sites in accordance with these measures. The presentation will also provide a brief overview of logic models and how to develop them, lessons learned from this piece of the evaluation, and explore the linkages between model fidelity for particular activities and aggregate outcomes. Objectives • Understand how logic models can be used as an evaluation tool to assess program implementation. • Learn how to assess program fidelity to a logic model. • Discover if program fidelity to a logic model effects program activities and outcomes.

In the past few years, this concern has led a number of Arizona courts (including Limited and General Jurisdiction Courts) to establish some form of Mental Health Court to process criminal cases involving people with serious mental illnesses. These locally developed problemsolving courts strive to reduce the incarceration and recidivism of people with mental illnesses by linking them to appropriate mental health services and supports. But is it that easy? The Arizona Supreme Court has been tasked with establishing statewide standards for Mental Health Courts but, how do you solve the puzzle of developing consistencies across programs and jurisdictions while ensuring program effectiveness, procedural fairness, and adherence to evidence based-practices? Objectives • Understand the challenges of establishing statewide standards. • Identify key partners to serve on the advisory group. • Develop the framework for establishing statewide standards.

Unintentionally men can sometimes exacerbate problems when working with females by what they say and often what they don’t say. Male court professionals with good intentions can often create an unsafe situation for themselves and sometimes the client. From the bench to the community being gender responsive to the unique needs of females can support positive outcomes for the client as well as ensuring the safety for males interacting with females who have experienced trauma. Objectives • Identify challenges for men working with women and girls. • Discuss realistic strategies to maintain safety for the team and the client. Speaker(s) Susan James-Andrews President and CEO James-Andrews and Associates Mitchellville, Maryland 72 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE This session will describe Minnesota’s strategy for expanding Drug Courts across the state, focusing on how it is using recent statewide Drug Court (adult substance abuse and DWI) research to support the expansion effort. Beginning with a Statewide Drug Court Evaluation (adult substance abuse courts) in 2012 and additional follow up analysis in 2014, together with a Statewide DWI Court Study released in September 2014, Minnesota’s Drug Court Initiative (DCI) crafted, and began implementing, a five year expansion plan. The DCI is also leveraging the research to engage Judicial, Executive, and Legislative Branch leadership in further policy, funding and implementation discussions and for developing peer mentoring and performance-based funding, all with eye toward statewide implementation and improvement. Objectives • Learn how to use research effectively to develop and promote Drug Court expansion. • Understand challenges in expansion efforts (it’s not just the funding). • Learn effective strategies for engaging Judicial, Executive, and Legislative Leadership in expansion efforts.

Speaker(s) SESSION B-10 The Smoking Gun: The Role of Law Enforcement and Ethical Issues in a Drug Court Setting National Harbor 10 Police and Probation Officers face unique challenges in Drug Court. Some of these challenges present as ethical dilemmas. Officers are often aware of treatment information which they may not be able to reveal. Sometimes officers are aware of criminal justice investigations which they cannot reveal. When are you at risk for an ethical breach? What will you do? Objectives • Learn how to identify ethical problems in a Drug Court context. • Identify methods of dealing with ethical issues in the Drug Court. • Learn common ethical problems officers and police SESSION B-9 Fundamentals of Incentives and Sanctions in Adult Drug Court Maryland C Incentives and sanctions are essential tools of the Drug Court team. However, many Drug Court teams do not base their responses on scientific strategies. Over the past years, the National Drug Court Institute (NDCI) has offered topic-specific training programs for Drug Court teams after the completion of a thorough literature review of over 100 articles pertaining to shaping behavior. This session will offer an in-depth analysis of the ten science-based principles every Drug Court should consider before responding to client behavior. face in Drug Court.

Further, practitioners are not always privy to the cultural nuances that can impact behavior change with Latinos/as. This presentation will offer a cultural competent modality that practitioners can tap into and elicit the adhered to Latino cultural facets that impact behavior change, and essentially forge a successful recovery process for this diverse population. Objectives • Identify at least two culturally based questions that can be added to traditional client assessment tools. • State that integrating the Latino client’s culture can help lead to effective and sustainable behavior change. • List at least two points of Drug Court program and client contact where the cultural competence modality can be integrated. Speaker(s) Diana Padilla Program Manager NDRI USA / NeC ATTC New York, New York 74 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE Substance abusing and criminal justice clients are not just addicted to drugs but are often addicted to a lifestyle that court teams continue to miss or even begin to understand. Without discussing these dynamics, clients continue to fail, especially from a cultural perspective. The author discusses and shares through his writings, how he manipulated and conned various professionals, and how the pen became his salvation in the midst of his addiction to fight for sanity in the unforgiving insanity of the drug world. This session further identifies what Drug Court practitioners can do to address these dynamics to support success for racially and culturally diverse participants. Objectives • Define the lifestyle of addiction and how it impacts success. • Explain the relationships between addiction to the drug and addiction to the lifestyle and the implications for Drug Courts. • Identify strategies for practitioners to use from peer coaching to recognizing unrealistic expectations.

Wheeler Group Co-Chair: Thurgood Marshall Action Coalition Plantation, Florida NADCP Washington, DC 2015 SESSION B-13 SESSION B-14 Target 25: Pennsylvania’s Nationally Recognized DUI Reduction Initiative National Harbor 4 National Harbor 6-7 Justice system involved and substance abusing individuals historically experience incidents of trauma. Trauma means experiencing, witnessing, or being threatened with an event or events that involve actual serious injury, a threat to the physical integrity of one’s self or others, or possible death. If individuals suffering from trauma do not receive specialized intervention from trained staff, prospects for long-term recovery are diminished. Substance abusing individuals with misidentified or misdiagnosed trauma-related symptoms often have difficulty seeking help for their addiction and engaging in treatment, which makes relapse more likely. A trauma informed approach in Drug Courts and substance abuse treatment programs is essential to effectively address the multiple and unique needs of trauma survivors. Target 25 is the early identification, placement, and pretrial supervision of second and subsequent offense DUI offenders. Started in 2010 in York County, Pennsylvania, Target 25 uses 24/7 concepts and is designed to be a complement to DUI Treatment Courts. Target 25 runs as a collaborative program in partnership with the District Attorney’s office, the Court of Common Pleas, the minor judiciary, local law enforcement, the Sheriff’s Department, Adult Probation, the Clerk of the Courts, and the local defense bar. In the last year Target 25 and its founder, the Honorable John S. Kennedy, have been nationally recognized by NHTSA and the Governor’s Highway Safety Association for its unprecedented results, including reductions in the number of repeat drunk driving offenses; crashes resulting in injury or fatality due to a drinking driver; and the rates of re-arrest, failures to appear, and revocation. This session assumes prior knowledge of trauma informed care principles and primarily will focus on ideas and practical solutions for implementing traumainformed care principles into an existing Drug Court or program. Objectives • Provide a brief refresher on Trauma Informed Care Principles. • Identify areas where individuals can be re-traumatized in criminal justice settings. • Brainstorm ideas and practical solutions for implementing trauma-informed care principles.

Kennedy Judge York County Treatment Courts York, Pennsylvania 75 TUESDAY Implementing Trauma-Informed Care Principles into Your Program Setting the Standard SESSION B-15 TUESDAY Alcohol Monitoring and Testing Technologies: A Primer for New Programs, a Refresher on Policies Chesapeake 4-6 Drug Courts are on the front line of providing encouragement when offenders succeed, and holding them accountable when they fail to meet their obligations. Sobriety is a major obstacle for many offenders. In fact, a survey of 1.2 million prisoners in state correctional facilities found that one-third had been using alcohol at the time of their offense. Ensuring offenders stay sober while released to community supervision has many positive effects. Criminal justice officials can effectively use rapidly evolving technology to track alcohol consumption by Drug Court participants. This workshop is for agencies considering an alcohol monitoring program. Objectives • Attendees will learn the basics of alcohol testing methods and devices, including continuous alcohol monitoring, the benefits of adding a program, key considerations, and how to begin with a focus on policy development. • This workshop is geared to professionals and administrators who are new to alcohol testing and electronic monitoring and/or considering implementing such a program within their agency. • It will also offer program administrators a refresher on policy and program development. Speaker(s) Joseph Johnson Account Executive Specializing in Offender Monitoring BI Incorporated Boulder, Colorado Annual Training Conference SESSION B-16 The Computerized Assessment and Referral System (CARS) - Identifying Mental Health Disorders Among DUI Offenders Chesapeake 10-12 Repeat DUI offenders often suffer from a number of psychiatric disorders and other psychosocial risks, suggesting that untreated mental health and behavioral issues likely contribute to the persisting rate of DUI. However, treatment for DUI offenders most commonly consists of alcohol education and alcohol treatment only. This presentation describes an innovative assessment in the final stages of development, the Computerized Assessment and Referral System (CARS), for use in DUI treatment and court settings. CARS packages a powerful mental health assessment with a user-friendly interface, increased flexibility, treatment referrals, and immediate personalized output, to create a tool that can be used easily by DUI programs to screen DUI offenders and target comorbid mental health issues. CARS is being evaluated through a randomized controlled trial at two separate DUI treatment locations. The study compares a screener, full, and self-administered version of the CARS tool. We are collecting both staff and client impressions, as well as data from CARS and follow-up information from clients, courts, and aftercare providers post-treatment to determine the usability of CARS, its efficacy as a brief intervention, and the relationship between psychiatric comorbidity and outcome among first-time and repeat DUI offenders. This session will present the latest findings from this study. Objectives • Gain a better understanding of the mental health profiles of first-time and repeat DUI offenders. • Learn why it is important to screen for mental disorders in DUI populations and learn about a new screening tool. • Engage in discussion of how and where such screening could occur within the DUI court process.

Speaker(s) Hon. Joseph Flies-Away Chief Justice Hualapai Court of Appeals Phoenix, Arizona Unique Aspects of Behavioral Healthcare in Drug Treatment Courts National Harbor 2 Treatment providers working with drug treatment courts seldom have prior relevant formal education and only limited experience in working with the criminal justice system and court-based interventions, such as drug treatment courts. The differences between traditional and drug treatment court practice are numerous, unique, and profound. These include ethics, client choice, informed consent, confidentiality, duty to warn/protect, evidence-based treatments for this population, participation in a multidisciplinary team, motivational issues, behavior management, and the central if often neglected role of criminogenic risks and needs. Additionally, Drug Court participants typically present with a complex range of concerns, such as co-occurring disorders, trauma, and criminal thinking. Relying solely upon on-thejob learning extends the learning curve of clinicians, diminishes the potential benefits of treatment, and puts the clinician at risk to run afoul of the court and other elements of the criminal justice system. This presentation will assist both new and experienced treatment providers in identifying the similarities and distinctions from traditional practice and the appropriate adaptations to make in order to work successfully in the drug treatment court setting. Relevant research, practical experience, case vignettes, and discussion will be used as learning tools.

In addition, this workshop will examine the common legal structures that adult, family, and juvenile Healing to Wellness Courts adopt. Finally, this workshop will explore common legal issues faced by Healing to Wellness Courts, including state Drug Court case law, which while not authoritative, nevertheless offers insights into legal issues facing Healing to Wellness Courts. SESSION B-18 Setting the Standard SESSION B-19 TUESDAY Tribal Youth Wellness: Responses to Underage Drinking Among Native Youth National Harbor 5 The serious consequences of alcohol abuse among Native youth have been repeatedly affirmed though research. Studies including Monitoring the Future and the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse have consistently shown that that American Indian and Alaska Native youth are more likely to start drinking at a younger age, more likely to drink heavily, more likely to use drugs together with drinking, and more likely to suffer higher alcohol-related consequences than their non-Native peers. Considering that excessive alcohol consumption is a leading cause of death among American Indians and Alaska Natives, alcohol abuse among Native youth can be particularly devastating for many tribal nations. The Center for Court Innovation is currently working with the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges and several tribes around the country to explore innovative responses to underage drinking. At this session, the Center for Court Innovation will share timely information about effective interventions currently being used in tribal courts and lessons learned from this project. The presenters will also facilitate a discussion among participants around the particular challenges faced by tribes as they seek to empower their youth and divert them from destructive alcohol-related behaviors. This session seeks to enable participants to develop effective responses to underage drinking among Native youth in their own communities. Objectives • Understand the nature and scope of underage drinking and its attendant consequences among Native youth. • Identify innovative strategies for addressing underage drinking in tribal Healing to Wellness Courts. • Engage with other tribal justice practitioners to discuss different approaches to addressing underage drinking.

At times each of these rolls seems to be in direct conflict with another. However, research has shown that having the defense attorney as a regular member of the Drug Court team helps to increase success rates among the participants. In this session we will explore how to help participants understand and feel comfortable with your role as their legal counsel and as a member of the treatment team. We will identify rules of conduct as they apply to Attorney ethical obligations. Finally we will discuss how being a member of a treatment team is different from traditional legal roles and ways in which to help other members of the team understand why your role as an advocate must be maintained even within the non adversarial approach of Drug Court. Objectives • Identify the unique role of the defense attorney in the treatment court setting. • Understand the defense attorney’s role in developing and applying evidence based standards within the treatment court process. • Explore ways to help participants and team members understand the role of the defense attorney as a team member and an advocate.

Benjamin Judge West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals Charleston, West Virginia Hartwell Dowling Coordinator Specialty Dockets and Grants Administrative Office of the Courts, Maine Augusta, Maine James M. Eberspacher Project Director National Center for DWI Courts Alexandria, Virginia SESSION B-22 Is “Fair Treatment” an Evidence-Based Practice? How to Measure the Presence and Effects of Procedural Justice Chesapeake DE A common theme has emerged from a number of recent studies of Drug Courts and other problem-solving courts: defendants’ perceptions of the judge and the court process are key. The NIJ’s Multi-Site Adult Drug Court Evaluation, published by the Urban Institute, RTI International, and the Center for Court Innovation, found that Drug Courts whose judges interacted with defendants in a fair, respectful, and knowledgeable way were more effective, i.e. reduced drug use and reduced future offending. Similar findings have been shown for There is a robust research basis to support these findings. The concept – called procedural justice – holds that when litigants perceive the process to be fair, they are more likely comply with court orders and the law generally. Procedural justice includes several key dimensions, including treating litigants with respect, ensuring their understanding of court procedures, and providing an opportunity to be heard. This presentation will provide an overview of relevant procedural justice research and its connection to the broader topic of improving justice system legitimacy. Faculty will highlight studies and demonstration projects nationally in various justice system contexts that have experimented with the approach. Faculty will also describe a multi-year project funded by the Department of Justice to help the field understand procedural justice, assess their capacity to improve litigant perceptions of fairness, and make concrete improvements The presentation will explain available self-assessment resources and how they are being tested in pilot jurisdictions around the country. Lastly, faculty will engage the audience in a discussion of promising practices that might enhance the primary dimensions of procedural justice - voice, understanding, respect, and neutrality of decision-making – in an effort to stimulate discussion. Objectives • Define the key elements of procedural justice, its connection to system legitimacy, and research supporting these concepts. • Identify and explore available tools to assess court users’ perceptions of fairness. • Consider promising practices for enhancing perceptions of voice, understanding, respect, and neutrality of decision-making.

Drug Courts are best designed and most successful when serving high risk/high need populations, that is, those participants with high criminogenic risk and high prognostic need. In fact, every component of your Drug Court program, from treatment to incentives/sanctions to case management will be integrally connected with targeting the appropriate population. But how do you identify high risk/high need participants? How do you ensure your program is targeting these individuals? This presentation will outline the research on high risk/ high need, and will further discuss and explain how to ensure your program targets the correct population. Objectives • Understand the research behind serving high risk/ high need populations in Drug Court. • Identify strategies for incorporating risk/need assessment into your Drug Court operations. Speaker(s) Douglas Marlowe Chief of Science, Law, and Policy National Association of Drug Court Professionals Alexandria, Virginia What does it take for a Family Dependency Treatment Court (FDTC) to effectively serve the whole family? Join us to learn about an innovative public-private partnership designed to promote larger-scale systems changes to provide effective, comprehensive familycentered treatment for families in FDTCs. The Prevention and Family Recovery (PFR) initiative seeks to advance the capacity of FDTCs to integrate and sustain evidence-based parenting services and developmental and therapeutic services for children into their larger FDTC program. Children and Family Futures, with the generous support of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Duke Endowment, is providing funding and intensive technical assistance to four grantees: Pima County Juvenile Court Center (AZ), Robeson Health Care Corporation (NC), San Francisco Superior Court (CA) and Tompkins County Department of Social Services (NY). This session will highlight important lessons learned from the grantees’ first year of operations. These lessons will address progress and challenges with implementing and monitoring evidencebased programming, building local cross-systems data collection and evaluation capacity, and undertaking the practice and larger systems changes needed to provide and sustain a family-centered approach in FDTCs. The presenters will discuss the implications of the lessons for the larger FDTC field. They will also highlight the unique characteristics of this venture and offer insights for future public-private partnerships seeking to advance systems change. Objectives • Discuss key lessons about the progress and challenges associated with implementing and integrating evidence-based parenting and children’s services into an established FDTC.

Speaker(s) Jessica Pearce Training Manager National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges Reno, Nevada Douglas Thomas Senior Research Associate National Center for Juvenile Justice Reno, Nevada National Harbor 13 Matching the right youth to the right program at the right time and for the right amount of time is a key to successful Juvenile Drug Court interventions. This workshop will present a strategy and procedures for identifying, screening, assessing youth and making data-driven decisions regarding JDC referral, matching with appropriate interventions, case management, as well as case closing. Matching the “right youth” requires assessing both static and dynamic risk factors to determine if an individual is a good fit for Juvenile Drug Court, if he or she is amenable to treatment, and which treatment intervention is most appropriate. The “right program” or intervention will be evidence-based (to the extent possible), matched to the individual level of risk and needs of youth, and implemented with integrity. The “right time” refers to both the youth’s current amenability to treatment and to maximizing treatment duration (neither too short nor too long). The strategy presented in this workshop is a “gated approach” in which each of the critical decision points are seen as JDC gates through which juveniles pass if they match the criteria at each gate. Several processes will be discussed, including screening and 81 TUESDAY • Explore initial opportunities to apply lessons learned assessing youth for risk, needs, and substance abuse involvement; structured decision-making; applying risk/needs outcome data to effective case management, applying evidence based practices and matching youth to evidence based programming. Setting the Standard SESSION C-4 TUESDAY A Dozen Years, Two Dozen Courts: Lessons from New York’s Mental Health Courts National Harbor 12 Since 2002, close to 8,000 defendants have participated in New York’s Mental Health Courts, which operate in large cities, suburban communities, and small towns in rural areas. The courts vary widely in their staffing and funding for court operations and in the local resources for treatment and related supports. In collaboration with the New York State Unified Court System, the Center for Court Innovation has conducted a statewide policy survey of New York’s 25 adult Mental Health Courts, which has reviewed policies and practices for adult Mental Health Courts including eligibility criteria, clinical assessment procedures, risk/ needs assessment, range of available treatment and other social services, local collaborations, and strengths and challenges, based on staff reporting. The policy survey is supplemented by a review of administrative data and qualitative interviews with select sites to understand specific Mental Health Court practices and policies. The New York State Unified Court System and the Center for Court Innovation plan to use the study results and recommendations drawn from the national literature to identify common challenges, promising practices, and training needs, to spark discussion about policy and practice recommendations for Mental Health Courts in New York State, and to provide guidance to jurisdictions that are interested 82 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE Annual Training Conference in improving case processing and sentencing options for defendants with mental illnesses without creating a specialized court part.

The Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts has adapted the model to address the needs of an addicted population and implemented it in multiple Adult Drug Court jurisdictions. Along with the traditional Drug Court approach to supervision and case management, these participants receive intensive support and assertive outreach in their own living and working environments via ACT. ACT has an anticipatory approach and through this adaptation, provides for intensive, ongoing assessment of immediate and long term recovery related needs. Ideally, the implementation of ACT in Drug Court settings goes beyond the traditional focus to increase access to needed services and decrease the likelihood of relapse and related criminal activity. This presentation focuses on the adaptation of this evidence-based practice to meet the needs of participants in rural Drug Courts as well as discussing necessary collaborations to ensure implementation and sustainability as well as research examining effectiveness and lessons learned to help individuals understand how this model can be implemented in other jurisdictions. Specifically, this session will: 1) provide a brief overview of the ACT model, 2) show how the model can be adapted successfully to rural Drug Courts, 3) overview the roles/responsibilities of team members and allow key stakeholders to share perspectives, and 4) provide evaluation data to overview lessons learned, successes, challenges, and effectiveness associated with implementing this model in Adult Drug Courts. The target audience for this presentation includes individuals interested in an approach to help address fragmented systems of care by a more coordinated approach.

The purpose is for peers to help each other identify ideas for program improvements and share successes and challenges. This allows treatment court community across the state access to information and support at a low administrative cost while building relationships between programs. It can also provide important information to the state about areas of needed technical assistance and training, and how to focus those resources most effectively. This panel will discuss the process of developing and implementing Drug Court peer reviews in Idaho, Georgia, Oregon, and Colorado. Staff from each state will share stories and information about their state roll-outs and what they have experienced. These states have now conducted peer reviews in multiple sites and will share highlights from their successes and lessons learned, as well as how they are using the information and process. Staff from NPC Research who helped these states develop their protocols will facilitate a discussion and question and answer period for interested sites and states to gain more information about having peer reviews. Objectives • What are the benefits of using peer reviews? What are the successes states that have implemented peer reviews have had? • What challenges have arisen and how did states overcome them? • What lessons have been learned by the states that have implemented peer reviews that will help states that are exploring?

Delivering a response every single time! • How to create individualized behavior contracts to reward and motivate for positive behavior change in other areas. • Learn about program-wide incentives to motivate families to engage in the program and promote a strength-based atmosphere. Speaker(s) Cassandra Kirk Associate Judge Romae T. Powell Juvenile Justice Center Reno, Nevada Wendy Schiller Site Manager National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges Reno, Nevada TUESDAY Behavior change is an important aspect of JDCs, and research tells us that to promote positive behavior change within a Juvenile Drug Court, incentives and sanctions should be given in a 4 to 1 ratio (i.e., four incentives for every one sanction). However, this is a difficult task to accomplish for juvenile and Adult Drug Courts. Recommended practice is to try to achieve a 1 to 1 ratio. Ultimately, this means JDC team teams may need to create opportunities to deliver more incentives than sanctions to the youth in the program. In addition, it is extremely important to provide incentives that are meaningful to the youth, and as much as possible, involve the youth in choosing their own incentive and/or sanction, so they have ownership in the process. This session will cover a three-prong approach to implementing incentives and promoting behavior change in youth. SESSION C-10 Role of Probation in the Drug Court: Best Practices National Harbor 10 Probation is a critical piece of a successful Drug Court. From administering drug tests to doing home visits, from performing random searches to asking participants about their successes and offering support, the probation officer provides accountability, supervision, and encouragement. This session will outline the role of the probation officer in a Drug Court and offer advice and insight on how to enhance participant outcomes with a strong probation presence. Objectives • Understand the critical role of the probation officer in Drug Court. • Identify ways to enhance Drug Court outcomes by incorporating effective supervision techniques.

Attracting African Americans to Drug Court TUESDAY National Harbor 3 In many jurisdictions across the U.S. African Americans are not accessing Drug Courts. Many of them claim that the lack of access is due to African Americans choosing not to participate in Drug Courts. Why are African Americans not choosing to be in Drug Court? What can Drug Courts due to make their programs more attractive to African American populations? Objectives • This session will discuss disparate numbers of African Americans accessing Drug Courts across the country. • Participants will examine how using culturally relevant incentives could make programs more attractive to African Americans. SESSION C-11 Immigration Consequences of Criminal Conduct: How Drug Courts Can Help Chesapeake 7-9 This session will focus on the what can happen to lawful permanent residents, and undocumented workers (and their families) who are facing immigration consequences for alleged criminal conduct.

Speaker(s) Darryl Turpin President Darryl Turpin Consulting Louisville, Kentucky SESSION C-13 Vicarious Trauma & Vicarious Posttraumatic Growth Among Service Providers In ProblemSolving Courts National Harbor 4 Clients in substance abuse treatment often report histories of trauma, reflecting, in part, the use of substances to self-medicate. The co-occurrence of substance abuse and trauma-related symptoms is evident among Drug Court participants, all the more so in family treatment Drug Courts, where child abuse and neglect and parent-child separations increase the level of trauma experienced by family members, and in Veterans Treatment Courts, particularly for those returning from deployments. In order to be effective with these clients, there is a need to provide intercession for trauma-related symptoms as well as substance abuse. While the integration of treatment for trauma and substance abuse treatment has positive effects on clients, less is known about its impact on service providers. This exposure has been shown to NADCP Washington, DC 2015 Objectives • To understand what is meant by vicarious trauma, and vicarious post-traumatic growth, and factors associated with both. • To learn about staff perceptions of conducting trauma-informed treatment and factors specific to a Family Treatment Drug Court. • To understand the trauma-related challenges and growth opportunities treatment providers may have in a Veterans Treatment Court.

The Office has been a major participant in the expansion of alternative prosecution processes which has seen the number of alternative sentencing options (primarily treatment courts) in Cook County from three in 2003 to the current 21 and deferred prosecution options from one in 2009 to the current 12. The number of individuals involved in one of these options has risen from approximately 300 in any given month (in 2000) to the current monthly total of over 2,600. In 2011, State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez directed the Alternative Prosecution/ Sentencing Unit to develop a deferred prosecution program for non-violent offenders with limited criminal backgrounds. This led to the development and implementation of the Felony Deferred Prosecution Program. To date, that Program has admitted over 1,600 individuals charged with non-violent felony offenses, with over 75% successfully completing the requirements of the Program and having charges dismissed. The goals of the Program are: • to provide meaningful direction to participants in the areas of educational achievement, vocational activity, treatment referral (where indicated), and pursuit of a law-abiding lifestyle and • to allow eligible offenders an opportunity to avoid The Program tracks successful participants for re-arrests, in the first year post-case dismissal. Of the first 432 such participants, 85% have no subsequent arrest, 98% have no subsequent felony conviction (among results). It has proven to be a cost- effective alternative to traditional prosecution in a quasitreatment court setting while also effective in limiting additional criminal behavior and allowing participants the opportunity to avoid a felony criminal record. Objectives • Engaging Low Risk/Low Need offenders in a treatment court setting without requiring excessive supervision or program demands. • The involvement of the victim and the coordination of community partners in a deferred prosecution alternative. • The role that this Program has in the CCSAO matrix of alternatives to traditional prosecution.

Strategies will be provided in accessing A.A. assistance & involvement, transitioning or bridging between professional treatment and A.A. The judicial system often requires clients involved in alcohol related offenses to attend AA meetings. When offenders are required to attend A.A. meetings as a condition of their sentence, there may be a requirement that each offender offer proof that he/she attends the required number of meetings. How can courts cooperate with Alcoholics Anonymous in ways that does not violate A.A. principles? What local A.A. resources are available to help courts and other justice professionals obtain accurate A.A. information. This question will be addressed along with demystifying AA myths and misconceptions while providing an accurate and current view of A.A. today.Rationalization and denial are part of the alcoholic’s illness. Initial rejection of A.A. is part of the denial mechanism. A.A. members, having broken through their denial and faced the harm in their drinking, are particularly suited to helping others break through their denial.Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who 92 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE Annual Training Conference share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

Irvine, California 93 TUESDAY National Harbor 11 Setting the Standard Annual Training Conference SESSION D-3 TUESDAY Engaging Family and Community in Juvenile Drug Court and Implications for Policy National Harbor 13 Families and the community are important aspects of adolescent substance abuse treatment (NIDA, 2014). Engaging the family as a valued partner in all program aspects and building partnerships with community organizations are two of the sixteen Juvenile Drug Court (JDC): Strategies in Practice (BJA, 2003). Family engagement is identified as an essential JDC goal as the quality of the relationship between JDC professionals and families is a significant predictor of case success (BJA, 2003). Yet effectively engaging families, formalizing community partnerships, and creating strong community linkages do not come easily. This session will examine how JDCs work to attain these goals and effectively translate family and community engagement into JDC operations, process, and programming. The presenters will draw on lessons learned from a national cross-site evaluation of JDCs that implemented Reclaiming Futures (RF). The integrated JDC/ RF approach emphasizes the importance of engaging family and community partners in substance abuse treatment for youth. As a result, data from this evaluation are particularly informative of how to translate family and community engagement into JDC operations, process, and programming and the challenges of doing so. The challenges/barriers and promising practices/strategies presented in this session will be relevant for any JDC seeking to improve family and community engagement. The presenters will illustrate a lively discussion by utilizing cross-site findings from diverse data sources (i.e., one-on-one interviews; group interviews; observational data; and community resource utilization assessment) and highlight considerations for involving, engaging, and retaining family and community partners in adolescent substance abuse treatment and JDC programming overall. Additionally, the presenters will provide recommendations to guide policy for JDCs that are seeking to improve family and community engagement. Objectives • Identify practices & strategies for JDCs to increase involvement and engagement of families. • Understand challenges and barriers associated with engaging families and the community in JDCs. 94 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE • Learn recommendations to guide policy for JDCs seeking to improve family and community engagement.

If Mental Health Courts are going to be successful, they need an evidence-based starting point from which to develop. Although Mental Health Courts differ significantly from Drug Courts, the overwhelming majority of Mental Health Courts have a high percentage of offenders with co-occurring substance abuse or dependence. We must utilize the evidence-based practices from Drug Court when treating addicted mentally ill offenders in order successfully to manage their addiction as well as their mental illness. For the past 25 years, Drug Courts have provided the best antidote for substance abuse, and by utilizing their best practices and lessons learned we can make Mental Health Courts equally successful. Since 2002, Orange County has operated Mental Health Courts utilizing Drug Court principles as their foundation. With less than 25% recidivism, this model is one that is working.

Youth with co-occurring disorders have multiple and complex symptom patterns and behaviors raising unique challenges for juvenile courts. These youth typically: are more difficult to engage in treatment and have higher treatment dropout rates; have more severe symptoms; use substances earlier, more frequently and over a longer period of time; and have more serious and complex family issues. This presentation will provide an overview of the research and describe the national context for the movement towards integrated treatment. The presenters will describe a real-world approach – the Integrated Co-occurring Treatment (ICT) model – to addressing the needs of court-involved youth with co-occurring disorders. ICT, an intensive communitybased method of service delivery, provides a comprehensive and integrated set of mental health and substance use treatments to youth with co-occurring disorders and their families. ICT has been implemented within juvenile specialty courts with promising results. Finally, this session will provide attendees with guidance on how to develop capacity in their own communities to provide integrated, effective treatment for youth in JDCs with co-occurring disorders. Objectives • Increase understanding and awareness of the impact co-occurring disorders in youth has on JDC participation. • Review the most current research on effective, integrated interventions for youth with co-occurring disorders. • Learn about an integrated treatment model that works with court-diverted youth, and identify steps to develop local capacity.

Collaborating in Communities of Color to Meet the Diverse Needs of Clients Chesapeake ABC In an effort to address client needs accountability courts often struggle to meet the challenge of working with diverse partners in the community and effectively engaging (or educating them) about Drug Courts. If clients are not receiving basic needs such as stable housing, health services, or food in an environment that they can relate to or If clients are not comfortable with the services than the likelihood of a client’s success may diminish. Identifying community partners who can engage and retain diverse clients can be even more challenging if you are not clear on cultural nuances, strengths and challenges. Do clients fail services or are we failing clients? This session explores strategies and identifies practical solutions to identify, engage, and collaborate with communities of color. Objectives • Explore factors that make effective engagement of community partners a challenge. • Learn how to identify and address beliefs, thoughts, or attitudes that serve to create barriers between themselves and their clients. • Learn practical tips to establish authentic relationships and build trust with diverse community partners and clients.

Chicago, Illinois SESSION D-7 Applying Quality Improvement Principles to Juvenile Drug Courts Maryland 4-6 Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is a process that can help juvenile justice organizations, including Juvenile Drug Courts, use their own data to continually improve services with the goal of achieving the best possible outcomes for youth. By incorporating CQI, Juvenile Drug Court professionals can define their purpose, processes, and programs; collect, process, analyze, and report relevant information; and make data-informed decisions to improve services and outcomes. Regularly assessing the organization’s performance is the only way to know how current conditions are impacting the quality of services and outcomes produced. This workshop describes a process for Juvenile Drug Courts to adopt and implement CQI principles into their services. The workshop provides guidance on how JDC’s can prepare staff and stakeholders for CQI implementation and steps to implement and sustain CQI. The practices discussed in this workshop are derived from high quality research and have been embraced by criminologists, other social scientists and experienced practitioners. From the early steps of organizational readiness to the ultimate goal of using data to make informed decisions, Juvenile Drug Court administrators, probation officers, case workers and substance abuse providers will find benefits to incorporating CQI both at the intervention level and system wide.

With it, came a tidal wave of hip hop values which glorified the hustler lifestyle, normalized the use of marijuana, while promoting materialism and a “pimp” mentality that degrades women. when working with African American males in groups or individually. Speaker(s) Wallace Green Probation Officer / Treatment Coordinator Greater Cleveland Drug Court Cleveland, Ohio That was 27 years ago. The young African American males that we are dealing with today are the second generation. These young men are caught between twisted images of manhood made popular by the hip hop culture and an outright rejection of education and political involvement; values fought long and hard for during the Civil Rights Era. The result of this selfimposed street mentality has lead to higher rates of drug 99 TUESDAY Chesapeake 7-9 and alcohol problems, as well as higher incarceration rates. The leaders of the rap industry have proven that it is easier to take advantage of young African American males than it is to educate them. As a result, gangsta rappers have amassed personal fortunes flaunting these values in music and videos at the expense of the black community as a whole. Setting the Standard TUESDAY SESSION D-13 SESSION D-15 Creating a Trauma Informed Juvenile Drug Court The Ultimate Chain of Custody Machine National Harbor 4 Chesapeake 4-6 This session will present how trauma – particularly complex trauma in childhood – can lead to a host of challenging behaviors associated with struggles in relationships, disengagement from school, and involvement in the justice system. Participants will learn how physiological responses to chronic stress can have a profound impact on brain development, how subsequent adaptive skills can push youth away from protective influences such as school, and how educational and allied systems can become more trauma-informed at all points of contact with children, youth, and families. This 75 minute presentation introduces attendees to a vision for chain of custody extending well past its traditional use. The fundamental legal requirement for chain of custody is well understood within the context of forensics. The advent of modern testing laboratories using automated equipment and sophisticated software to capture and report results has extended the boundaries for chain of custody. Today’s chain of custody obligations go beyond the need to track the physical transfer of fungible items used as evidence. The audit trail of evidence must now include the representation of client specimens as data captured by complex analyzers, transported across multiple networks, arranged into manageable data container by a set of controlled system users, transformed by software into easily understood reports, certified by scientific experts, and delivered to ordering entities that include court systems, physicians, hospitals, and others. At eLab, where laboratory scientists and software developers focus on faster, less expensive, more comprehensive drug testing within a corporate culture obsessed with legal compliance, chain of custody presented a challenge. In this presentation, we’ll review the problems you might encounter from the need for chain of custody reporting, understand the modern scientific management principles used by eLab in its QuikLIMS laboratory management software, and see the future it provides within Drug Courts, case management systems, and the criminal justice system. In the course of this tract, our objective will be to introduce the following topics, discuss their meaning and relationship to chain of custody. Objectives • Participants will learn key elements in creating trauma-informed juvenile justice systems. • Be able to identify best practice examples associated with key elements of trauma-informed juvenile justice systems. • Participants will have a better understanding of the crucial role of youth engagement in informing best practices.

Drug Courts have proven to be an effective tool to help mitigate negative consequences for many of these individuals. Additionally, the DACA and President Obama’s Executive Orders on immigration and how criminal prosecution for those who might be eligible will be discussed. Objectives • Identify the types of crimes involved in Drug Court cases that might carry immigration consequences. • Explain what a “conviction” is under Federal immigration law. • Explain how a sentence to Drug Court can fall within that definition and constitute a conviction of the underlying crime for Federal immigration purposes.

Shaun Floerke Judge Minnesota Judicial Branch Duluth, Minnesota 101 Setting the Standard SESSION D-18 TUESDAY Improving Drug Court Outcomes for Young Adult Offenders National Harbor 2 A county in Southeastern Pennsylvania conducted a study funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to determine if Leading Everyone to Achieve Potential (LEAP), an enhancement of its existing Treatment Court, would improve participant outcomes for high-risk/high need offenders aged 18-25. This age group had proven hardest to engage in Treatment Court and experienced higher dropout rates than older participants. LEAP was specifically designed to break the cycle of substance use and criminal behavior by addressing trauma, criminogenic risks, and the educational /vocational needs of young adult offenders from assessment through treatment and community supervision. The purpose of this presentation is to describe LEAP and the outcomes of 150 participants from 2011 to 2014. LEAP improved retention in Treatment Court (80% retention rate) and achieved positive clinical and community outcomes for participants compared to participants in similar Drug Court studies nationally. These six-month outcomes include higher rate abstinence from alcohol and other drugs; higher rates of employment; lower rates of depression and anxiety; and fewer negative social consequences related to substance use and crime than the rates of those in the national Adult Drug Court study cohort. These outcomes are attributed to the design and implementation of LEAP. Objectives • Describe effective recovery supports for Drug Court Participants. • Design an enhanced employment/vocational program. • Describe the role of trauma in the lives of Drug Court participants.

The Enablement Prevention Program is based on existing programs such as Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Dialectic Cognitive behavioral therapy and on evidence based research of the damaging effect that enablement has on recovery. Enablement Prevention has been in practice and an element of recovery for at least the last 20 years. It originated out of Group Guided Interaction and the 12 step program. EPP is a form of peer-group treatment similar to group interventions where individuals experiencing similar problems can come together in a safe environment to share and receive experiences and get support. Furthermore, it is a cost-effective form of mental health treatment when compared to individual-based therapy. The goal of the group is to develop interactions with the client and to prevent the further enablement of the client and the client’s criminal behavior. EPP also utilizes value-based and process-oriented treatment model. The freedom from enablement will encourage clients into maturity, pro-social behavior and attitudes, and manages to make the client answerable for their own negative, delinquent behaviors and attitudes. Objectives • Learn the basic of addiction and how triggers operate. • Learn the role of family as both enablers and healers. • Learn strategies for better engaging family members in a participant’s treatment.

Speaker(s) TUESDAY Stepping from the Adversarial System into the Drug Court Model presents Prosecutors with a number of challenges. What role will they play in the process? How involved must they be in the Staffing’s and Court Sessions? Who should the team be targeting for entry into the program? What are the common Constitutional issues that arise and how have court addressed them? Over the past several years a great deal of research has been done to explore these questions and from this several “Best Practices” have been developed. This presentation will offer some sound approaches to resolving these legal and ethical dilemmas based on the research. This presentation is not just for the Prosecutor who has just been assigned to Drug Court but is intended for even the Experienced Prosecutor who is looking to gain more in-depth information on their role in Drug Court.

Although the program only began operating in the spring of 2014, enrollment is high (on average, eight participants are referred monthly) and nearly all participants have successfully completed the residential program and are on track to graduate from BTC. The most innovative aspect of the 90-RRP program is the use of Recovery Coaches. Recovery Coaching applies the concepts of Life Coaching and Business Coaching to those seeking recovery from alcohol and other drugs. Semi-structured interviews with Recovery Coaches and program participants highlight the combination of social support, structured services, and guidance that lead to successful treatment completion and positive Drug Court outcomes. This presentation will highlight the innovative features of the 90-RRP program, from the perspectives of participants and their Recovery Coaches. SESSION D-22 Objectives • Recognize the unique needs of alcohol and opiate using Drug Court participants. Innovative Use of Recovery Coaching to Improve Community Re-Integration for Drug Court Participants • Understand the importance of community linkage for Chesapeake DE • Understand the roles Recovery Coaches can play in Problem Solving Courts provide a range of comprehensive services for participants, making use of local resources where available, and often creating or developing additional resources as needed. In 2012, the Brooklyn Treatment Court (BTC) recognized a number of unmet needs for opiate and alcohol using participants. First, existing inpatient treatment programs were not achieving a significant level of success with these participants, who often relapsed upon discharge. Second, existing programs did not have the resources to adequately link participants to services in the community, including medical care and assistance with benefits including housing and family support services. In partnership with Samaritan Village, and through funding from SAMHSA and BJA, we created the 90-day Residential Rehabilitation Program (90-RRP), an innovative residential treatment program that makes use of evidence-based treatment programs (MRT; Think for a Change; Seeking Safety) administered over three months 104 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE alcohol and opiate using Drug Court participants. the treatment of Drug Court participants.

The Importance of Real Sustainability Planning SESSION E-1 Data, Evaluation and Outcomes: What You Should Collect and Why Maryland D The research is clear: Drug Court works. But does your Drug Court work? Is your program collecting data on participants? What data? And what can you do with it? This session will outline the best practices in collecting data and evaluating your Drug Court program, ensuring that your court is keeping fidelity to the Ten Key Components and Best Practice Standards, determine if you are having the impact on your participants that you want and how you can use data to help you obtain funding. Objectives • Understand the importance of collecting data and how you can use it to improve your program. • Understand what data to collect. • How you can use data and evaluation to obtain funding. Speaker(s) Shannon Carey Co-President & Sr. Research Associate NPC Research Portland, Oregon Charlene Zil Research Coordinator NPC Research Portland, Oregon If grant funding is the primary resource for funding your FDC, then your FDC may not have the infrastructure to sustain itself in this economic climate. Real sustainability planning involves moving beyond the boundaries of your FDC as a project towards a focus on systems thinking and change. During this workshop, we will present a sustainability planning framework, explore the impact of federal and state level policy changes on FDC sustainability, and give specific advice on what sustainable funding options exist. Tessa Richter from the Jefferson County Family Integrated Treatment Court will tell her story about starting and sustaining a FDC without grant funding by distilling key components of the sustainability planning process. Ms. Richter plans to focus on how she garnered and continues to build institutional support to secure stable funding sources. This workshop is only for professionals who do not accept barriers as status quo but rather use them as targets for change. Objectives • Identify common barriers for sustainability planning. • Explore financing options, practical “barrier-busting” strategies, and opportunities for change. • Understand the difference between “project thinking” vs. “systems thinking” and the key features of systems change. • Learn why issues of scale, targeting, local parallel initiatives, and institutionalization are critical for sustaining your FDC.

The U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention recognizes mentoring as “an effective way to prevent at-risk youth from becoming involved in delinquency” and as a way to help already delinquent youth change their lives for the better. Research has demonstrated that mentoring relationships can improve youth’s self-esteem, behavior, and academic performance. The site visits and focus group identified five critical features of an ideal circumstance for implementing Mentoring JDCs, including: a clear vision/mission, adherence to a strong model, gritty determination to make it work, effective programming, and a quality pool of mentors. Using mentors can be a valuable asset to Juvenile Drug Courts. Presenters will discuss the variations in mentoring Juvenile Drug Court models, provide examples of the five critical features, and discuss driving and restraining forces associated with those features. Objectives • Participants will learn how mentors can enhance Juvenile Drug Court activities. • Participants will learn five factors of a successful mentoring Juvenile Drug Court. • Participants will learn about “forces” that enhance success factors as well as forces that “restrain” the success factors. Speaker(s) Jessica Pearce Training Manager National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges Reno, Nevada Douglas Thomas Senior Research Associate National Center for Juvenile Justice Reno, Nevada 106 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE SESSION E-4 Difficult Issues Faced by Mental Health Court National Harbor 12 This session will discuss the “difficult issues” faced by Mental Health Courts, including broad issues such as the nexus between a criminal charge and mental illness, utilizing incentives and sanctions, and responding to high profile events involving participants, as well as difficult “on-the-ground” issues such as identifying appropriate treatment providers and finding housing resources. This session will be discussion-based and attendees are encouraged to come with questions they would like to discuss. Objectives • Understand the difficult issues facing Mental Health Courts. • Identify potential solutions and strategies for handling these difficult issues and improving their courts. • Hear from peers about innovative solutions to various Mental Health Court problems that are being utilized nationwide. Speaker(s) Emily Harris Program Associate, Courts Council of State Governments Justice Center New York, New York Eric Olson District Manager Idaho Adult & Juvenile Mental Health Courts 7th Judicial District Idaho Falls, Idaho NADCP Washington, DC 2015 SESSION E-5 Chesapeake GHI Drug Court participants vary in their clinical presentation. While all court participants have clinically significant substance use, many present with co-occurring mental health issues as well as other social and emotional concerns. For many participants, exposure to traumatic events is an underlying cause of many of these issues, and trauma-focused therapies have been implemented in many treatment settings. In recognition of these issues, the Brooklyn Treatment Court (BTC) developed a trauma screening protocol for Drug Court participants presenting with co-occurring mental health issues. As of September 2014, 63 Drug Court participants have been screened for entry into the program. Of these, 23 (36.5%) were found to be ineligible, primarily due to severe mental health issues (these participants were referred to Mental Health Court) and/or no reported trauma history (referred to regular Drug Court programming). Trauma Symptom Inventories (TSIs) have been completed by 17 of the 40 remaining participants (42.5%); administration of the TSI is ongoing. When percentile scores are averaged across participants, the mean was above the 70th percentile on three of the four TSI factors: Self-Disturbance (73.0%), Post-Traumatic Stress (81.6%) and Externalization (70.2%). The Somatization factor, however, was relatively low (39.3%). Five of the 12 clinical scales also averaged higher than the 70th percentile: Depression (71.6%), Intrusive Experiences (82.1%), Defensive Avoidance (89.6%), Insecure Attachment (76.5%), and Tension Reduction Behavior (80.9%). These findings are consistent with participant reports and are incorporated into individual treatment planning. The TSI used in conjunction with diagnostic interviews allows for a more objective assessment of what each participant is actually experiencing. BTC staff uses the TSI to better understand the psychological consequences of the participants’ trauma experience and develop a unique treatment plan of specialized therapeutic services. • Participants will learn about the Trauma Symptom Inventory (TSI), including its factor and scale structure. • Participants will learn how to use the TSI as part of a comprehensive screening for trauma-related issues in Drug Court participants. • Participants will learn how to use TSI results to develop individually-tailored treatment plans for Drug Court participants.

Chesapeake ABC Culture focuses on a variety of aspects of a person life. What goes on in an individual’s “world” can impact their recovery (or lack of), if we as professionals don’t understand the various nuances that may impact their lives. The issues our clients face are not simply alcohol and drugs, or criminal behavior. Gender does matter, and it is not just male and females. How your clients identify themselves, what services they access, interactions in court, engage family members (or not), even what services clients access can influence treatment court success, This session goes beyond terminology and provides helpful strategies when working with the GLBTI client in juvenile, adult, veteran and family treatment courts. Objectives • Identify how implicit bias may impact interactions with GLBTI clients in treatment courts. • Identify practical tips and resources in the community that are “safe zones” for the GLBTI client. • Explore services for friends and family members to aid in success for treatment court clients. Speaker(s) Susan James-Andrews President and CEO James-Andrews and Associates Mitchellville, Maryland 108 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE Annual Training Conference SESSION E-7 Programmatic Factors Related to Outcomes in Juvenile Outpatient Treatment: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Juvenile Drug Courts Maryland 4-6 There is a dearth of literature that provides information about key elements of successful collaboration and coordination in Juvenile Drug Courts. In addition, it is unclear whether collaboration between youth-serving agencies and coordination of services actually translates into (1) better organization/system performance (e.g., quality; efficiency), and (2) improved client services and outcomes. This session will present findings from the National Cross-Site Evaluation of Juvenile Drug Courts and Reclaiming Futures (JDC/RF) that address these gaps in the literature. This National Cross-Site Evaluation of JDC/RF examines the outcomes and impact of implementing an integrated model of the Juvenile Drug Court: Strategies in Practice model and the Reclaiming Futures model (JDC/RF) at eight different Juvenile Drug Courts. To understand the effectiveness of these JDC/ RF programs, the National Cross-Site Evaluation of JDC/RF compared the outcomes and impact of these eight JDC/RF programs to the outcomes and impact of other Juvenile Drug Courts who have not implemented Reclaiming Futures (JDC-only) and of other adolescent intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment programs (IOP). Session presenters will discuss these three approaches (JDC/RF, JDC-only, and IOP) and will discuss the ways in which they are similar and different at the program level (use of reputable screening tools; frequent reviews of treatment plans, family engagement, etc.). Session presenters will also discuss the comparable effectiveness of these three approaches on client outcomes such as substance use and recidivism. Presenters will compare the effectiveness of Juvenile Drug Courts to IOP (JDC/RF and JDC-only vs. IOP) and will also compare each of the three approaches to each other approach (JDC/RF vs. JDC-only vs. IOP). Finally, presenters will discuss the impact of programmatic factors (e.g., use of reputable screening tools) on client outcomes, identifying key elements of effective Juvenile Drug Courts, as well as of adolescent substance abuse programs. NADCP Washington, DC 2015 Objectives • Understand the similarities and differences between • Learn about the comparable effectiveness of JDC/RF, JDC-only, and IOP approaches on client outcomes. • Learn about programmatic factors related to improved client outcomes in JDC and adolescent substance abuse treatment programs.

NDCI Sr. Judicial Fellow Walnut Creek, California SESSION E-10 CBT For Probation Officers (Part 2) National Harbor 10 SESSION E-9 Behavior Modification and The Seriously Mentally Ill or Functionally Impaired: Special Issues to Consider Maryland C Mental Health Courts have moved away from the concept of graduated rewards and sanctions -a key component of Drug Courts -in favor of a broad array of strategies to motivate participants to engage in treatment. In Mental Health Courts, each participant’s treatment plan must be highly individualized to address his or her specific clinical needs, each participant responds to incentives and sanctions in idiosyncratic ways, and mental health service providers acknowledge their clients’ right to make their own treatment decisions. In this context, Mental Health Courts have adapted tactics from Drug Courts but have also created a range of new strategies, both in their court operations and in their partnerships with providers, to help motivate treatment engagement. This workshop will present promising practices drawn from a wide range of Mental Health Courts in New York and California. Objectives • Gain information about specific strategies and tactics used by operational Mental Health Courts that help motivate participants to engage in treatment and comply with court supervised treatment plans. • Learn about factors that have been shown to improve or impair engagement in mental health treatment. Speaker(s) Hon. Christine Carpenter Circuit Court Judge 13th Judicial Circuit Columbia, Missouri 110 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE As Drug Court professionals, we know that recovery is frequently compounded by the way addicts think about and react to their various problems. By developing a deeper understanding of erroneous thought patterns and incorporating cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) methods into your regular contacts with participants, responsible skills can be modeled, taught, practiced, and role-played by probation officers to reinforce pro-social attitudes and behaviors. Implementing CBT based techniques to enhance your community supervision efforts will lead your participants towards developing critical thinking skills, emotional analysis, and personal accountability and responsibility. As Wyandotte County Adult Drug Court graduate John B. said, who has regularly come back to the probation office to speak at new-probationer orientation, I didn’t have a drug problem or an alcohol problem, I had a thinking problem. With CBT approaches, your Drug Court will be better equipped overall to address thinking errors. This session will review and provide CBT based activities that can be used immediately. Make your contacts count! Objectives • Develop an understanding of thinking errors and cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) methodology. • Discuss leading participants to creatively solve problems on their own & become less dependent on others & illegal substances. • Gain practical information & a variety of CBT-based resources/exercises that can be used for your contact visits.

Emphasis on the effective collaboration of the treatment team to break down the barriers to drug dependency inherent in the Latino/Latina community in Los Angeles county and protect the children. The related problems that are inherent in the community and the benefit of Drug Court. Historical trauma has a major impact on African Americans that enhance cultural mistrust issues. Is it schizophrenia or healthy paranoia that the black experience can be misconstrued as mental illness? The impact of discrimination, racial profiling, and trauma are just a few of the areas that can impact our clients success. Mental illness not only enhances resistance in Drug Courts; but also can contribute to the lack of retention. For African American women the issues can be even be more profound. This session discusses how to identify cultural relevant services for African Americans in need of mental health services and support in Drug Court. Objectives • Barriers to treatment within the Latino community and the benefit of Family Drug Court for cohesion of treatment. • The Latino cultural challenges in dealing with the judicial system and agencies providing services, including gang related issue. • The relationship in the courtroom between the participants and the Drug Court team as it relates to the Latino community, and includes barriers.

Speaker(s) Donna Johnson CEO Addiction Solutions Inc Cartersville, Georgia Annual Training Conference SESSION E-16 Judicial Leadership and Strong Treatment Voice and Response Chesapeake 10-12 Effective DWI/Drug Court intervention is a complex interplay of team dynamics (and personalities – let’s be honest), probation monitoring, treatment voice and response, targeting the right clients, incentives, sanctions, testing, data review, and implementing research findings and best practices. We (a judge and a treatment provider from a thriving and effective Felony - High Risk/High Need - DWI Court) will consider two key components to effective team work, process and outcomes: the role of the judge as the team leader and the role of the treatment provider. In addition, we will explore the nature of the connection and communication between the judge and treatment provider as critically essential to thoughtful process and good outcomes for the court. Judges must lead in a way that doesn’t overpower the team or abdicate decision-making. Judges must foster a collaboration wherein every voice on the team is heard. Judges must ensure that the treatment voice is heard and respected and that the treatment response essential to great outcomes AND public safety - thrives. Judges must know the research, their own data, and fearlessly pursue best practices. The treatment provider plays a critical role in informing and education the team. The provider must appropriately assess clients for entry, craft effective interventions and responses and must also provide ongoing assessment and response as clients move through the court. Moreover, they must guide the team in understanding addiction, mental illness and recovery and how to respond appropriately to violations given proximal and distal skills/goals for individual clients. The treatment voice must also be grounded in best practices, both in terms of interventions with clients, but also in guiding the team and making recommendations. We will work through research, scenarios, methods, and best-practice ideas that courts can take home and apply for more effective interventions and outcomes. 112 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE NADCP Washington, DC 2015 Objectives • Appreciate the methods whereby the judge can • Understand the key role of the treatment provider, both in client interaction and team decision making. • Consider the essential collaboration between the judge and treatment provider in implementing research and best practices. Speaker(s) Hon. Shaun Floerke Judge Minnesota Judicial Branch Duluth, Minnesota Julie Seitz Clinical Director; LADC, LSW Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment Duluth, Minnesota Search and Seizure: Overview of the Law Maryland 1-3 The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures. Although the Fourth Amendment generally is interpreted to mean that a reasonable search requires a warrant supported by probable cause, the United States Supreme Court and other appellate courts have authorized a number of exceptions to the warrant/probable cause requirement in a variety of circumstances. Individuals subject to supervision through probation, Problem Solving Courts or other monitoring programs are entitled to certain due process rights under state and federal law, including the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. This session will provide an overview of significant U.S. Supreme Court cases and other appellate court decisions that analyze the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures in the context of court authorized supervision programs such as probation, Problem Solving Courts and pre-conviction monitoring. Objectives • Analyze significant United States Supreme Court opinions and other appellate court decisions regarding search and seizure in probation, Problem Solving Courts and other court monitoring programs. • Properly evaluate the constitutionality of search and seizure procedures utilized by probation officers/ problem solving court personnel in supervising participants.

SESSION E-17 Setting the Standard TUESDAY SESSION E-18 The Importance of Universal Precautions: Effects of Trauma and Health Literacy on Health Outcomes in Drug Court National Harbor 2 Health Literacy has been hailed as the “missing element” researchers have sought to understand due to its strong prediction of health outcomes among those with chronic disease and is often a stronger predictor of treatment success than race, education, or socio-economic status. However, very few studies have assessed health literacy in adults suffering from addiction within the criminal justice system. While experts in the field propose that health literacy interventions may effectively diminish health disparities by reducing barriers and increasing access to health services, these studies did not address disparities in behavioral health outcomes related to health literacy among clients within criminal justice populations. There have also been no prior studies researching the interaction effects of Trauma and Health Literacy on treatment court outcomes. This presentation will discuss significant findings in the importance of not only addressing trauma within this population but also its interacting effects on outcomes with health literacy. Attendees will be introduced to evidence-based interventions in reducing the negative effects of trauma on program success (Gain’s center’s Trauma-Informed Care) and the Universal Precautions Toolkit for improving communication and cultural practices related to health literacy (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; AHRQ). Specific health outcomes measured will be a reduction in maladaptive behavioral health symptoms (using the Brief Symptom Inventory), improvements in treatment plan fulfillment, and improvements in client perceptions of program practices (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems; CAHPS). Results from this study will provide data that are needed on concurrent health literacy and trauma interventions and their impact among substance abuse clients within treatment courts. The full research design and process will be discussed as well as a practical guide to measuring impacts of the interventions that can be incorporated into existing evaluation/quality improvement activities. 114 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE Annual Training Conference Objectives • Understand the prevalence and impact of trauma and health literacy on client outcomes. • Identify successful strategies for implementing universal precautions to mediate those effects and improve client outcomes. • Learn to measure the impact of health literacy and trauma interventions and incorporate them into the evaluation/quality improvement.

Maryland D In the early 2000s, Drug Courts were credited with helping to alleviate unfair disparities in the incarceration of racial and ethnic minority citizens for drug-related offenses. Since then, the Drug Court model has expanded its scope (e.g., Veterans Treatment Courts, DUI/DWI Courts, Mental Health Courts, Family Drug Courts, Etc.) and locations. In NADCP’s efforts to recognize Drug Courts alleviating unfair disparities in the incarceration of racial and ethnic minority citizens for drug-related offenses, it appears that not all Drug Courts can prove that racial and ethnic minority candidates and participants may be experiencing relatively lower rates of admission and graduation than non-minorities, and that some Drug Courts have not adopted evidence-based, culturally proficient interventions to help other Drug Courts significantly improve admission and other outcomes for minority participants. NADCP Washington, DC 2015 Objectives • Explore why collecting reliable and valid data • Examine different database programs, and how to modify some databases to collect reliable and valid data. • Explore lessons learned and potential next steps to advance NADCP policy and practice. • Learn the significance of the Cultural Leadership Award for all Problem Solving Courts.

This atypical scenario requires the PD (or private defense counsel) to shed traditional roles and learn new ones while respecting each other’s alternative role. Research findings and principles derived from best practices will be woven into the discussion about the interplay of advocacy and prosecution in selecting participants, encouraging compliance, and requesting termination when necessary. This requires that both parties wear various hats and know the appropriate times to wear them. Objectives • Learn about setting aside traditional roles while still being and advocate for the client and a protector of public safety. • Learn about how to refer appropriate defendants to the Treatment Court programs and encourage compliance during the program. • Learn about the various hats worn by both parties and the appropriateness of these at various points in the process.

CONCURRENT GENERAL SESSIONS CG-9 THROUGH CG-16 WEDNESDAY Setting the Standard Annual Training Conference SESSION CG-10 SESSION CG-11 Crossover Youth: The Power of Treatment Courts to Impact the School to Prison Pipeline Criminal Justice Reform and Drug Courts National Harbor 10 Drug Courts are the backbone of criminal justice reform. Drug Court professionals have transformed the justice system’s response to addicted offenders to one of compassion from one of incarceration. But we need to ensure that the system does not lose sight of the treatment needs of addicted individuals entering the justice system. Without sufficient treatment and supervision, too many addicted persons will remain in a downward spiral. This session discusses ongoing reforms in the justice system, such as Proposition 47 in California, and how Drug Court professionals can ensure that high risk, high need offenders can continue to access much-needed treatment and supervision. Juvenile Treatment Courts in its design can aid our most vulnerable population, those in both the child welfare and juvenile justice system. These populations are higher at risk due to limited family, education and community support. Juvenile Treatment Courts continue to evolve and many are addressing the disparities in the school to prison pipeline that impact youth of color disproportionately. From a national and local perspective the courts and community discuss how they have come together to provide a systematic approach to work collectively in the best interest of the child with limited support. Alarming facts regarding disparities are provided as well as strategies from the Juvenile Treatment Court in Seattle and the High Fidelity Wrap Around Case Management Services pilot in Broward County as well as services available for young adults leaving the foster care system.

Chico, California NADCP Washington, DC 2015 SESSION CG-12 Maryland C The ramifications of a positive drug test (i.e. sanction, program expulsion, imprisonment, etc.) combined with the denial component of substance abuse often create circumstances whereby clients feel the need to “beat the drug test” by tampering with their urine sample. Diluted urine samples, designed to produce falsely negative drug testing results, represents the single most common form of specimen tampering. Negative testing results preclude therapeutic intervention and diminish client engagement in recovery. This session will discuss why creatinine testing is important, how to interpret creatinine results and how to use creatinine measurements in a therapeutic context. This session is designed for both new and seasoned Drug Court team members. Objectives • Gain fundamental knowledge about urine specimen tampering. • Understand the importance of urine creatinine measurements and the best way to use these results in a therapeutic context. • Describe two sanction approaches that can be utilized to remedy tampering behavior.

The NADCP board of directors issued a position statement in 2012 supporting the use of MAT, and the Adult Drug Court Best Practice Standards includes support for MAT as an adjunct to treatment. As of 2015, grant solicitations from SAMHSA and BJA have included language addressing the administration of MAT, along with funding availability for MAT. This session will outline the research on MAT, the history of MAT use (including the scope of FDA approval for these medications), and a brief description of the most common medications used in MAT. Drug Courts present a myriad of legal and constitutional issues, many of which are unique and of first impression at the appellate level. Adult Drug Court Best Practices addresses many of these issues. This session will provide an overview of the Best Practices and further discuss other legal issues impacting Drug Courts and as yet unresolved in the appellate courts.

In NADCP’s efforts to recognize Drug Courts alleviating unfair disparities in the incarceration of racial and ethnic minority citizens for drug-related offenses, it appears that not all Drug Courts can prove that racial and ethnic minority candidates and participants may be experiencing relatively lower rates of admission and graduation than non-minorities, and that some Drug Courts have not adopted evidencebased, culturally proficient interventions to help other Drug Courts significantly improve admission and other outcomes for minority participants. Objectives • Explore why collecting reliable and valid data examining potential racial or ethnic disparities is critical for all Problem Solving Courts to mitigate racial/ethnic disparities. • Examine different database programs, and how to modify some databases to collect reliable and valid data. • Explore lessons learned and potential next steps to advance NADCP policy and practice. • Learn the significance of the Cultural Leadership Award for all Problem Solving Courts.

This atypical scenario requires the PD (or private defense counsel) to shed traditional roles and learn new ones while respecting each other’s alternative role. Research findings and principles derived from best practices will be woven into the discussion about the interplay of advocacy and prosecution in selecting participants, encouraging compliance, and requesting termination when necessary. This requires that both parties wear various hats and know the appropriate times to wear them. Objectives • Learn about setting aside traditional roles while still being and advocate for the client and a protector of public safety. • Learn about how to refer appropriate defendants to the Treatment Court programs and encourage compliance during the program. • Learn about the various hats worn by both parties and the appropriateness of these at various points in the process.

These populations are higher at risk due to limited family, education and community support. Juvenile Treatment Courts continue to evolve and many are addressing the disparities in the school to prison pipeline that impact youth of color disproportionately. From a national and local perspective the courts and community discuss how they have come together to provide a systematic approach to work collectively in the best interest of the child with limited support. Alarming facts regarding disparities are provided as well as strategies from the Juvenile Treatment Court in Seattle and the High Fidelity Wrap Around Case Management Services pilot in Broward County as well as services available for young adults leaving the foster care system.

Chicago, Illinois Hon. J Wesley Saint Clair Judge Seattle Juvenile Treatment Court Seattle, Washington SESSION CG-27 Criminal Justice Reform and Drug Courts National Harbor 4-5 Drug Courts are the backbone of criminal justice reform. Drug Court professionals have transformed the justice system’s response to addicted offenders to one of compassion from one of incarceration. But we need to ensure that the system does not lose sight of the treatment needs of addicted individuals entering the justice system. Without sufficient treatment and supervision, too many addicted persons will remain in a downward spiral. This session discusses ongoing reforms in the justice system, such as Proposition 47 in California, and how Drug Court professionals can ensure that high risk, high need offenders can continue to access much-needed treatment and supervision.

Chico, California 132 NADCP 21st ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE NADCP Washington, DC 2015 SESSION CG-28 WEDNESDAY Dilute Urine Samples: Courts Response to Low Creatinine Specimens Maryland C The ramifications of a positive drug test (i.e. sanction, program expulsion, imprisonment, etc.) combined with the denial component of substance abuse often create circumstances whereby clients feel the need to “beat the drug test” by tampering with their urine sample. Diluted urine samples, designed to produce falsely negative drug testing results, represents the single most common form of specimen tampering. Negative testing results preclude therapeutic intervention and diminish client engagement in recovery. This session will discuss why creatinine testing is important, how to interpret creatinine results and how to use creatinine measurements in a therapeutic context. This session is designed for both new and seasoned Drug Court team members. SESSION CG-29 Objectives Role of Law Enforcement in Drug Court • Gain fundamental knowledge about urine specimen tampering. • Understand the importance of urine creatinine measurements and the best way to use these results in a therapeutic context. • Describe two sanction approaches that can be utilized to remedy tampering behavior. Speaker(s) Paul Cary Director Toxicology and Drug Monitoring Lab University of Missouri Columbia, Missouri National Harbor 2-3 This course is designed to educate law enforcement officers on Drug Court programs and the role law enforcement plays on the Drug Court team. Law enforcement officers will learn the core knowledge, skills and information necessary to effectively monitor, supervise and participate on a Drug Court team. The course is designed to educate you on how to effectively respond to individuals with mental health and trauma and to educate you on “why people can’t stop using drugs.” Objectives • To educate law enforcement officers about Specialty Court Programs and their role as a member of the team. • To identify effective ways of supervising program participants from a law enforcement perspective. • To understand how mental health and trauma play a role in supervision of participants.

This presentation will highlight what judges and court personnel should know about ASAM Criteria principles, assessment and treatment levels. There will be discussion of how to use The ASAM Criteria to shift drug and other Problem-Solving Courts from a program-driven to outcomes-driven model and achieve lasting change. Objectives • Identify the guiding principles of The ASAM Criteria and how it interfaces with criminal justice settings. • Apply ASAM Criteria multidimensional assessment to individualize treatment and move courts from program-driven treatment to outcomes-driven services. • Discuss how to achieve accountable change in court participants through the common language of The ASAM Criteria and the clinical use of incentives and sanctions.

A naloxone challenge test may be WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: Vulnerability to Opioid Overdose: After opioid helpful; however, a few case reports have indicated that patients may experience detoxification, patients are likely to have reduced tolerance to opioids. VIVITROL precipitated withdrawal despite having a negative urine toxicology screen or blocks the effects of exogenous opioids for approximately 28 days after tolerating a naloxone challenge test (usually in the setting of transitioning from administration. However, as the blockade wanes and eventually dissipates buprenorphine treatment). Patients should be made aware of the risks associated completely, patients who have been treated with VIVITROL may respond to lower with precipitated withdrawal and encouraged to give an accurate account of last doses of opioids than previously used, just as they would have shortly after opioid use. Patients treated for alcohol dependence with VIVITROL should also be completing detoxification. This could result in potentially life threatening opioid assessed for underlying opioid dependence and for any recent use of opioids prior to intoxication (respiratory compromise or arrest, circulatory collapse, etc.) if the initiation of treatment with VIVITROL. Precipitated opioid withdrawal has been patient uses previously tolerated doses of opioids. Cases of opioid overdose with observed in alcohol-dependent patients in circumstances where the prescriber had fatal outcomes have been reported in patients who used opioids at the end of a been unaware of the additional use of opioids or co-dependence on opioids. dosing interval, after missing a scheduled dose, or after discontinuing treatment. Hepatotoxicity: Cases of hepatitis and clinically significant liver dysfunction were Patients should be alerted that they may be more sensitive to opioids, even at lower observed in association with VIVITROL exposure during the clinical development doses, after VIVITROL treatment is discontinued, especially at the end of a dosing program and in the postmarketing period. Transient, asymptomatic hepatic interval (i.e., near the end of the month that VIVITROL was administered), or after a transaminase elevations were also observed in the clinical trials and postmarketing dose of VIVITROL is missed. It is important that patients inform family members and period. Although patients with clinically significant liver disease were not the people closest to the patient of this increased sensitivity to opioids and the risk systematically studied, clinical trials did include patients with asymptomatic viral of overdose. There is also the possibility that a patient who is treated with VIVITROL hepatitis infections. When patients presented with elevated transaminases, there could overcome the opioid blockade effect of VIVITROL. Although VIVITROL is a potent were often other potential causative or contributory etiologies identified, including antagonist with a prolonged pharmacological effect, the blockade produced by pre-existing alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis B and/or C infection, and concomitant VIVITROL is surmountable. The plasma concentration of exogenous opioids attained usage of other potentially hepatotoxic drugs. Although clinically significant liver immediately following their acute administration may be sufficient to overcome the dysfunction is not typically recognized as a manifestation of opioid withdrawal, competitive receptor blockade. This poses a potential risk to individuals who attempt, opioid withdrawal that is precipitated abruptly may lead to systemic sequelae on their own, to overcome the blockade by administering large amounts of exogenous including acute liver injury. Patients should be warned of the risk of hepatic injury opioids. Any attempt by a patient to overcome the antagonism by taking opioids is and advised to seek medical attention if they experience symptoms of acute especially dangerous and may lead to life-threatening opioid intoxication or fatal hepatitis. Use of VIVITROL should be discontinued in the event of symptoms and/or overdose. Patients should be told of the serious consequences of trying to overcome signs of acute hepatitis. Depression and Suicidality: Alcohol- and opioid-dependent the opioid blockade. Injection Site Reactions: VIVITROL injections may be followed patients, including those taking VIVITROL, should be monitored for the development by pain, tenderness, induration, swelling, erythema, bruising, or pruritus; however, in of depression or suicidal thinking. Families and caregivers of patients being treated some cases injection site reactions may be very severe. In the clinical trials, one with VIVITROL should be alerted to the need to monitor patients for the emergence patient developed an area of induration that continued to enlarge after 4 weeks, with of symptoms of depression or suicidality, and to report such symptoms to the subsequent development of necrotic tissue that required surgical excision. In the patient’s healthcare provider. Alcohol Dependence: In controlled clinical trials of post marketing period, additional cases of injection site reaction with features VIVITROL administered to adults with alcohol dependence, adverse events of a including induration, cellulitis, hematoma, abscess, sterile abscess, and necrosis, suicidal nature (suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, completed suicides) were have been reported. Some cases required surgical intervention, including infrequent overall, but were more common in patients treated with VIVITROL than in debridement of necrotic tissue. Some cases resulted in significant scarring. The patients treated with placebo (1% vs 0). In some cases, the suicidal thoughts or reported cases occurred primarily in female patients. VIVITROL is administered as an behavior occurred after study discontinuation, but were in the context of an episode intramuscular gluteal injection, and inadvertent subcutaneous injection of VIVITROL of depression that began while the patient was on study drug. Two completed may increase the likelihood of severe injection site reactions. The needles provided suicides occurred, both involving patients treated with VIVITROL. Depression-related in the carton are customized needles. VIVITROL must not be injected using any other events associated with premature discontinuation of study drug were also more needle. The needle lengths (either 1.5 inches or 2 inches) may not be adequate in common in patients treated with VIVITROL (~1%) than in placebo-treated patients every patient because of body habitus. Body habitus should be assessed prior to (0). In the 24-week, placebo-controlled pivotal trial in 624 alcohol-dependent each injection for each patient to assure that the proper needle is selected and that patients, adverse events involving depressed mood were reported by 10% of the needle length is adequate for intramuscular administration. Healthcare patients treated with VIVITROL 380 mg, as compared to 5% of patients treated with professionals should ensure that the VIVITROL injection is given correctly, and should placebo injections. Opioid Dependence: In an open-label, long-term safety study consider alternate treatment for those patients whose body habitus precludes an conducted in the US, adverse events of a suicidal nature (depressed mood, suicidal intramuscular gluteal injection with one of the provided needles. Patients should be ideation, suicide attempt) were reported by 5% of opioid-dependent patients treated informed that any concerning injection site reactions should be brought to the with VIVITROL 380 mg (n=101) and 10% of opioid-dependent patients treated with attention of the healthcare professional.

Precipitation of Opioid Withdrawal: depressed mood or suicidal thinking were not reported by any patient in either treatment group (VIVITROL 380 mg or placebo). When Reversal of VIVITROL Blockade Is Required for Pain Management: In an emergency situation in patients receiving VIVITROL, suggestions for pain management include regional analgesia or use of non-opioid analgesics. If opioid therapy is required as part of anesthesia or analgesia, patients should be continuously monitored in an anesthesia care setting by persons not involved in the conduct of the surgical or diagnostic procedure. The opioid therapy must be provided by individuals specifically trained in the use of anesthetic drugs and the management of the respiratory effects of potent opioids, specifically the establishment and maintenance of a patent airway and assisted ventilation. Irrespective of the drug chosen to reverse VIVITROL blockade, the patient should be monitored closely by appropriately trained personnel in a setting equipped and staffed for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Eosinophilic Pneumonia: In clinical trials with VIVITROL, there was one diagnosed case and one suspected case of eosinophilic pneumonia. Both cases required hospitalization, and resolved after treatment with antibiotics and corticosteroids. Similar cases have been reported in postmarketing use. Should a person receiving VIVITROL develop progressive dyspnea and hypoxemia, the diagnosis of eosinophilic pneumonia should be considered. Patients should be warned of the risk of eosinophilic pneumonia, and advised to seek medical attention should they develop symptoms of pneumonia. Clinicians should consider the possibility of eosinophilic pneumonia in patients who do not respond to antibiotics. Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis: Cases of urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylaxis have been observed with use of VIVITROL in the clinical trial setting and in postmarketing use. Patients should be warned of the risk of hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. In the event of a hypersensitivity reaction, patients should be advised to seek immediate medical attention in a healthcare setting prepared to treat anaphylaxis. The patient should not receive any further treatment with VIVITROL. Intramuscular Injections: As with any intramuscular injection, VIVITROL should be administered with caution to patients with thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder (eg, hemophilia and severe hepatic failure). Alcohol Withdrawal: Use of VIVITROL does not eliminate nor diminish alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Interference with Laboratory Tests: VIVITROL may be cross-reactive with certain immunoassay methods for the detection of drugs of abuse (specifically opioids) in urine. For further information, reference to the specific immunoassay instructions is recommended. ADVERSE REACTIONS: Serious adverse reactions that may be associated with VIVITROL therapy in clinical use include: severe injection site reactions, eosinophilic pneumonia, serious allergic reactions, unintended precipitation of opioid withdrawal, accidental opioid overdose and depression and suicidality. The adverse events seen most frequently in association with VIVITROL therapy for alcohol dependence (ie, those occurring in ≥5% and at least twice as frequently with VIVITROL than placebo) include nausea, vomiting, injection site reactions (including induration, pruritus, nodules and swelling), muscle cramps, dizziness or syncope, somnolence or sedation, anorexia, decreased appetite or other appetite disorders. The adverse events seen most frequently in association with VIVITROL therapy in opioid dependent patients (ie, those occurring in ≥ 2% and at least twice as frequently with VIVITROL than placebo) were hepatic enzyme abnormalities, injection site pain, nasopharyngitis, insomnia, and toothache. Clinical Studies Experience: Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In all controlled and uncontrolled trials during the premarketing development of VIVITROL, more than 1100 patients with alcohol and/or opioid dependence have been treated with VIVITROL. Approximately 700 patients have been treated for 6 months or more, and more than 400 for 1 year or longer. Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation of Treatment: Alcohol Dependence: In controlled trials of 6 months or less in alcoholdependent patients, 9% of alcohol-dependent patients treated with VIVITROL discontinued treatment due to an adverse event, as compared to 7% of the alcoholdependent patients treated with placebo. Adverse events in the VIVITROL 380-mg group that led to more dropouts than in the placebo-treated group were injection site reactions (3%), nausea (2%), pregnancy (1%), headache (1%), and suicide-related events (0.3%). In the placebo group, 1% of patients withdrew due to injection site reactions, and 0% of patients withdrew due to the other adverse events. Opioid Dependence: In a controlled trial of 6 months, 2% of opioid-dependent patients treated with VIVITROL discontinued treatment due to an adverse event, as compared to 2% of the opioid-dependent patients treated with placebo. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Patients taking VIVITROL may not benefit from opioid-containing medicines. Naltrexone antagonizes the effects of opioid-containing medicines, such as cough and cold remedies, antidiarrheal preparations and opioid analgesics. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: Pregnancy: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of either naltrexone or VIVITROL in pregnant women. VIVITROL should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Pregnancy Category C: Reproduction and developmental studies have not been conducted for VIVITROL. Studies with naltrexone administered via the oral route have been conducted in pregnant rats and rabbits. Teratogenic Effects: Naltrexone has been shown to increase the incidence of early fetal loss when given to rats at doses ≥30 mg/kg/day (11 times the human exposure based on an AUC(0-28d) comparison) and to rabbits at oral doses ≥60 mg/kg/day (2 times the human exposure based on an AUC(0-28d) comparison). There was no evidence of teratogenicity when naltrexone was administered orally to rats and rabbits during the period of major organogenesis at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (175- and 14-times the human exposure based on an AUC(0-28d) comparison, respectively). Labor and Delivery: The potential effect of VIVITROL on duration of labor and delivery in humans is unknown. Nursing Mothers: Transfer of naltrexone and 6ʹ-naltrexol into human milk has been reported with oral naltrexone. Because of the potential for tumorigenicity shown for naltrexone in animal studies, and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from VIVITROL, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. Pediatric Use: The safety and efficacy of VIVITROL have not been established in the pediatric population. The pharmacokinetics of VIVITROL have not been evaluated in a pediatric population. Geriatric Use: In trials of alcohol-dependent subjects, 2.6% (n=26) of subjects were >65 years of age, and one patient was >75 years of age. Clinical studies of VIVITROL did not include sufficient numbers of subjects age 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. No subjects over age 65 were included in studies of opioid-dependent subjects. The pharmacokinetics of VIVITROL have not been evaluated in the geriatric population. Renal Impairment: Pharmacokinetics of VIVITROL are not altered in subjects with mild renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance of 50-80 mL/min). Dose adjustment is not required in patients with mild renal impairment. VIVITROL pharmacokinetics have not been evaluated in subjects with moderate and severe renal insufficiency. Because naltrexone and its primary metabolite are excreted primarily in the urine, caution is recommended in administering VIVITROL to patients with moderate to severe renal impairment. Hepatic Impairment: The pharmacokinetics of VIVITROL are not altered in subjects with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Groups A and B of the Child-Pugh classification). Dose adjustment is not required in subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. VIVITROL pharmacokinetics were not evaluated in subjects with severe hepatic impairment. OVERDOSAGE: There is limited experience with overdose of VIVITROL. Single doses up to 784 mg were administered to 5 healthy subjects. There were no serious or severe adverse events. The most common effects were injection site reactions, nausea, abdominal pain, somnolence, and dizziness. There were no significant increases in hepatic enzymes. In the event of an overdose, appropriate supportive treatment should be initiated. This brief summary is based on VIVITROL Full Prescribing Information (rev.
