OFFICIAL PROGRAM
NADCP 15th Annual Drug Court Training Conference
June 10-13, 2009
Anaheim, CA
Celebrating Twenty Years of Drug Court
Twenty Years ago, a team of visionaries in
Miami, Florida, opened the doors of the
nation’s first Drug Court. Since then, Drug
Courts have become the fastest growing
and most highly regarded justice system
intervention in history. Now, with over 2,300
Adult, Juvenile, Family, DWI, Tribal, Reentry,
and Veterans Courts in all fifty states, U.S.
territories, and twenty nations, Drug Court
Professionals are leading a wave of change to
make our justice system more compassionate
and effective.
NADCP congratulates all Drug Court Professionals who have worked so hard for the past
two decades as well as the millions of people
whose lives have been touched and transformed through the power of Drug Court.
This conference celebrates you!

Ready, Set, Go!
Implementation of Your Drug Court
The Power of Evidence-Based Treatment
Every day public health and public safety partnerships are
formed to develop drug courts. Many communities already have
one type of drug court and now want to venture into another part
of the drug court arena; others are implementing a drug court for
the first time. If this describes your community, this is the track
for you. It will address the considerations and partnerships that
must be made in the early stages of planning and implementing
a new adult, juvenile, or family dependency treatment drug
court. It will also provide the scientific principles and best
practices to ensure that your new drug court is built on a solid
foundation to ensure success and sustainability.
TRACK 2
Raising the Bar: Taking Family
Dependency Treatment Courts to the
Next Level
Family Dependency Treatment Courts, also called Family Drug
Courts, focus on child welfare cases that involve an allegation of
child abuse or neglect related to substance abuse using the drug
court model. As a result, there is better collaboration between
agencies and better compliance with treatment resulting in
improved outcomes for the children in these cases. Learn from
professionals in this field on what is working for them, as well as
what steps must be taken to get to the next level.
TRACK 3
Raising the Bar: Taking Juvenile Drug
Courts to the Next Level
Juvenile drug courts are a critical part of every juvenile justice
system. They provide a unique partnership that is focused on
the future of our communities. These courts have issues unique
to the population they serve. What is the best way to engage
juveniles and their families? What is considered developmentally
appropriate, gender-specific, culturally relevant, and evidencebased treatment? What roles do schools and the faith community
play? Whether your juvenile drug court has been in operation
for one year or more, this track is for you. Learn from fellow
practitioners as well as subject matter experts about the latest
research and effective approaches to dealing with adolescent
populations.
www.nadcp.org
This track debunks the myths of treatment and provides you
with an insider’s view of what works and what does not work
when treating substance abuse and mental health issues. Do
you ever wonder what the research really means or why certain
approaches do not work? Then this track is for you! This track will
highlight the innovative, evidence-based treatment approaches
that are available to the treatment community.
TRACK 5
Cultural Competency: More Than
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 competent. It is so simple to see, but so
challenging to implement. This track will not only focus on the
“seeing,” but also provide the latest in practice and research on
the “implementation.”
TRACK 6
The Facts and Nothing but the Facts:
Research to Practice
Do not let your drug court suffer because you do not understand
how to use evaluations to your advantage. Increasingly,
researchers are learning more about what works in a drug
court and why. Fostering partnership with practitioners and
researchers is critical toward improving drug court outcomes.
This expands empirical information about the long-term impact
of drug courts on recidivism, drug use, employment, and other
social factors. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn how to
improve your program measurement and outcomes.
19
TRACK 7
TRACK 10
Keeping Ahead of the Curve:
Knowing the Universe of Drugs
DWI Courts
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, treatment approaches, and research
findings to enhance programming and improve partnerships in
your community.
We are seeing significant increases in the number of jurisdictions
that have implemented a DWI court or added DWI offenders
to their drug court. If your court is considering adding DWI
defendants or starting a DWI court, then this track is for you. The
success of the drug court model in other settings has led many
court systems to consider this often difficult and challenging
population. Participants in this track will gain an increased
understanding of the principles specific to DWI as well as how to
modify their current operations to include this population.
TRACK 11
TRACK 8
The Good, The Bad, and The Effective:
Re-visiting 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. Participants will leave
these sessions not only with an increased understanding of the
science, but also better equipped to develop an incentives and
sanctions plan that will yield better results.
TRACK 9
Law Enforcement: Striking the Balance
Law enforcement and community supervision partnerships are
critical to any successful drug court. This track focuses on the
importance of strengthening relationships with law enforcement
and community supervision and assists officers in better
understanding their role in the drug court arena. The track will
feature courts with strong linkages to law enforcement and
community supervision personnel.
20
Legal and Ethical Issues in ProblemSolving Courts
Protecting the due process rights of the participants in drug
court is a foundation of drug courts. Practitioners in problemsolving courts are often faced with situations unique to the
problem-solving court arena. This session is designed to provide
some of the questions practitioners should ask, while also
providing the answers to many of those difficult questions.
Whether you are a new problem-solving court professional, or
you’ve been with drug courts for many years, this track includes
sessions on the cutting edge of what every drug court and other
problem-solving court practitioner should know.
TRACK 12 AND 13
Science and Technology:
Our Partners in the Commercial Sector
Private enterprise offers many necessary tools for drug court
operations. From unique methods assisting with community
supervision to a variety of drug testing options, from researchproven ways to use medically-assisted treatment to successful
treatment techniques, our partners in the private sector are a
critical asset to drug courts’ success. These sessions apprise
practitioners of new developments in science and technology
and provide a perspective on the concerns that every drug court
should have in selecting the right tools of the trade. Although the
information presented represents the viewpoint of presenters
and do not intend to be viewed as NADCP’s endorsement of any
particular product, these tracks will provide the practitioner with
a wealth of information in order to become a wise consumer of
products and services intended for the drug court field.
TRACK 14
TRACK 18
Problem Solving Courts? Not a Problem!
Working with the Latino Community:
Meeting the Challenge
As the number of drug courts increases in the United States and
abroad, practitioners are seeing individuals who are not only
drug addicted, but who also suffer from a host of other problems.
As a result, the drug court model is being adapted to enhance
and address the complex needs of various special populations.
This track offers a look into a variety of innovative problemsolving courts from around the nation.
Drug courts reflect the communities in which they are located.
Addressing the needs of the Latino population goes well beyond
dealing with communication barriers. Culture, residency status,
and employability are among the many factors that present drug
court practitioners an extra challenge when working with these
clients. This track is designed to help practitioners working with
the Latino community meet that challenge.
TRACK 15
Advanced Treatment Issues
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 16
Innovations in Problem-Solving Courts
Since the inception of the drug court program in Miami-Dade
County, Florida, drug courts have spread to every state and
territory in the United States and several countries. Other
successful problem-solving courts have also been implemented,
some using the drug court model. This track offers the problemsolving court practitioner a look into some of the most unique
and watched problem-solving courts throughout the nation.
TRACK 17
Mining the Mysteries of Meth
Whatever you call it—crystal, ice, bikers’ coffee—
methamphetamine is possibly the fastest growing drug of
choice among those entering drug court today. For drug court
professionals, methamphetamine represents a unique and
daunting challenge requiring innovative new approaches and
partnerships. This track will provide strategies for increasing the
effectiveness of law enforcement and community supervision
efforts, information on the pharmacology of methamphetamine
and effective treatment protocols for responding to drug
endangered children, and approaches for community-wide
interventions. Whether you have witnessed a meth explosion in
your community for the last twenty years or just for the first time,
this session will provide you with the latest in practice, policy,
and science to ensure that you have the tools and knowledge
needed to effectively intervene with methamphetamine users.
www.nadcp.org
TRACK 19
Legal Issues in and beyond ProblemSolving Courts
For attorneys practicing in problem-solving courts, the legal
issues are multi-faceted. The sessions in this track focus on
topics of interest within problem-solving courts, but also stretch
far beyond the problem-solving court arena. From judicial
immunity to sentencing reform, from issues involving criminal
defense to firearms possession, these sessions are designed to
answer some of the most complex questions for the attorneys
and judges in problem-solving courts.
TRACK 20
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 federal-tribal 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.

Advances in Medication-Assisted
Therapies for Opioid Dependence: How
Medication Can Help Drug Courts Reduce
Recidivism and Improve Client Outcomes
In the past 15 years, science has revealed ways addiction
can affect people’s brain functioning and decision-making.
This groundbreaking research has led to unprecedented
developments in the overall treatment of addictions, and the
use of medication as part of the treatment plan.
This session will discuss the benefits and limitations of
medication-assisted treatment, and will focus specifically on
unique medication-assisted treatment models within the criminal
justice system, and how these models can help address criminal
justice concerns such as recidivism, jail overcrowding, and current
fiscal challenges. Growth in prescription drug dependence is
outpacing many other substances throughout the US, in particular
prescription opioids. Come learn and engage with three county
partnerships that have taken unique approaches to addressing
these public safety and public health concerns.

Case Management: Skills for Better
Outcomes
Effective case management is a keystone to the success of your
drug court. While substance abuse treatment is the first priority,
practitioners know their clients present with a variety of challenges
and needs beyond chemical addiction. In order for adult, juvenile,
or family drug court clients to maintain long-term sobriety, every
program must have a clear set of case management policies and
procedures, and all team members must understand their role in
providing case management services. This session will define the
functions of case management, and will provide specific strategies
to enhance current practice. Case managers will learn how to
improve their technique, and other team members will learn how to
support the case management process.

Motivational Interviewing in the
Courtroom
Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based practice that
has demonstrated success in assisting clients with chronic
substance abuse to alter their behavior and choose sobriety over
dependence. The efficacy of Motivational Interviewing is derived,
in large part, due to the motivation that is elicited from within
the individual and not imposed by outside forces. Given the
courts’ ability to make and enforce decisions on a defendant’s
behalf, resistance is often a byproduct of even the most clientfriendly court mandates. Training in, and use of, Motivational
Interviewing techniques by judges, lawyers, and other
affiliated court personnel can significantly reduce a defendant’s
25
ambivalence and increase their willingness to participate and
cooperate in their own best interests. This training is intended
to educate court personnel to understand the stages of change,
begin to develop the tools to reach clients where they are
currently at, reduce the power struggle between the court and
the defendant, and assist the client to overcome their own
defensive posture and develop a partnership with the court to
obtain the best legal and clinical outcomes.

Immigration Issues in Drug Court
Many drug court professionals work with immigrant defendants
(including lawful permanent residents, refugees/asylees,
undocumented immigrants, and others). These immigrants
seek the opportunities for treatment and rehabilitation that
drug courts provide, and their families and communities
benefit from the reduction in recidivism that drug courts help
to produce. However, immigrant defendants may face serious
and unexpected immigration consequences due to some drug
court policies and requirements – consequences that also affect
their families and communities. This session will explain why
immigrant defendants face these consequences and explore
how the key players in the drug court system may implement
alternatives to these policies and requirements, thereby
facilitating the effectiveness of drug courts for immigrants, their
families and communities. This session is designed for drug
court planners, judges, attorneys, treatment providers, and other
drug court professionals who work with immigrant defendants.
Learning Objectives
• Understand the immigration consequences of drug charges,
pleas, and convictions;
• Identify the reasons why some drug court policies and
requirements may result in deportability and other unexpected
consequences for immigrant defendants;
• Discuss how drug court planners, judges, attorneys, treatment
providers, and other drug court professionals may address
immigration issues and ensure greater participation,
compliance, and positive outcomes for immigrant defendants
and immigrant communities.

The American Society of Addiction Medicine Patient Placement
Criteria for the Treatment of Substance-Related Disorders (ASAM
PPC-2R) provides a scientific framework through which treatment
practitioners can exercise their art of effectively addressing a
myriad of competing and sometimes contradictory treatment
needs. Since the introduction of this revised second edition
in 2001, the ASAM PPC-2R has gained widespread acceptance
and arguably is the unrivaled industry standard for making
treatment placement, treatment planning, and discharge
planning decisions. Unfortunately many practitioners have been
unable to fully realize its benefits. Its sheer volume and intricate
decision trees can make trying to “make it work” in the “real
world” a daunting task for even the experienced clinician. This
advanced level workshop is designed for practitioners who are
familiar with the ASAM PPC-2R, yet want to become more skilled
in effectively applying its criteria to the kinds of individuals that
drug treatment courts encounter every day.
Learning Objectives
• Understand and practice how to accurately categorize
assessment information into each of the six ASAM PPC-2R
dimensions;
• Understand and practice how to accurately rate severity
in each of those dimensions;
• Understand and practice how to translate the six dimensional
severity ratings into a sound and justifiable treatment
placement decision.

California Proposition 36:
Building Bridges
Proposition 36 was approved by California voters November 7,
2000. It sentences nonviolent drug offenders to drug treatment
rather than jail or prison. In Fiscal Year 2008-09, Proposition
36 appropriated $90 million to fund county drug treatment
services and criminal justice supervision. Proposition 36 serves
approximately 50,000 drug offenders annually. How do counties
bridge the gap between all the various entities involved? What
current challenges face Proposition 36 and how are local experts
meeting them? The University of California, Los Angeles has
evaluated Proposition 36 since inception almost eight years ago.
How can recommendations for improvement be applied to the
courts, treatment, and criminal justice fields? How are judges
implementing these practices work in their court? This session
is for current California Proposition 36 stakeholders in addition
to anyone who wants to learn more about how Proposition 36
works and how it can be improved.
Learning Objectives
• Learn the basics of Proposition 36 and what the future holds
from experts in the treatment, court and supervision fields;
• Learn some of the UCLA evaluation key findings and
recommendations specific to the fields of courts, treatment,
and supervision;
• L earn what role the court plays in the success of Proposition 36.

This presentation illustrates the benefits of conducting evaluations
of your programs, from gaining information that helps you
make program improvements and innovations, to documenting
successes that help you gain additional resources (show me the
money!). Evaluators will share the different types of information
that can be provided to programs through a menu of evaluation
activities, including training and technical support, process
evaluation, outcome studies, and cost analyses. State drug court
coordinators will discuss why they fund evaluation activities in
their states and programs, and how these activities benefit them at
the state level. Program coordinators will discuss their perceptions
of the benefits of both the evaluation process and resulting
evaluation data at the local level, including how to develop a
method to track information. They will also share their experiences
trying to implement recommendations from evaluations (including
the potential impact on team dynamics), challenges and successes
in these efforts, and lessons learned through this process.

Sex Addiction
The term “sexual addiction” is used to describe the behavior of
a person who has an unusually intense sex drive or an obsession
with sex. Sex addicts engage in distorted thinking, rationalizing
and justifying their behavior and blaming others for problems.
They generally deny they have a problem and make excuses for
their actions. Treatment must begin by bringing the person to
accept and admit that he or she has a problem. In many cases, it
takes a significant event, such as the loss of a relationship, loss of
a job, or an arrest to force the addict to admit to his or her problem.
Treatment of sexual addiction focuses on controlling the addictive
behavior and helping the person develop a healthy sexuality.
Treatment includes education about healthy sexuality, individual
counseling, and marital and/or family therapy. Support groups
and 12 step recovery programs are also available. In some cases,
medication is used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder to curb
the compulsive nature of the addiction. This presentation outlines
the issues presented by the sex addict, how to identify them, and
how to effectively treat them.

Sustaining the Gain – Real Life after
Graduation
A DUI/Drug Court Alumni group is a unique peer group that
bridges the gap in support between therapeutic court and life
after graduation. While Drug/DUI courts have had an important
impact on treating substance abuse offenders and reducing
recidivism, relatively little attention has been given to the
aftercare of court graduates. The Anchorage Therapeutic Court
Alumni Group has developed multiple programs to engage
graduates and keep them engaged, and help all members
stay clean and sober. Examples of how alumni create personal
investment in their group and also generate excitement about
the group in the community include raising funds ($60 each)
for a sober table at the Mayor’s Diversity Dinner, organizing two
sober celebrations a year (summer picnic and holiday party), and
attending court to encourage and mentor current participants.
Group meetings twice a month with food provide a sharing
atmosphere. Graduates use the meetings to:
• Support each other when the going gets rough in “real life” –
dealing with difficulties they face;
• Network for job opportunities;
• Discuss parenting issues.

California Proposition 36 –
Building Bridges
California counties have shown tremendous innovation in
how they implement Proposition 36. Los Angeles County has
successfully demonstrated notable improvements in Proposition
36 client engagement and retention in treatment services with
little added costs. Los Angeles County will share the results of
two pilot projects using a process improvement model developed
by the nationwide Network for the Improvement of Addiction
Treatment (NIATx). One of the keys to successful Proposition
36 outcomes is the collaboration between the courts, criminal
justice and treatment partners. How do you maintain this
collaboration when funds are decreasing? How do partners make
the tough decisions on where to place the funds? What are some
successful strategies on how to build collaborative partnerships?
San Diego will also share additional innovations which make
them a successful collaborative. This session is for current
California Proposition 36 stakeholders in addition to anyone that
wants to learn more about how Proposition 36 works and how it
can be improved.
Learning Objectives
• Learn how Los Angeles County implemented the Network for
the Improvement of Addiction Treatment (NIATx) model to
improve outcomes for Proposition 36 clients;
• Learn specifics about the state requirements of Proposition 36
including the annual county plan, regulations and audits;
• Learn what it takes to maintain a successful collaboration
with courts, criminal justice and treatment during tough
economic times.

Session A-2 Protective factors reduce the risk for juvenile offending and
support positive adolescent development. Juvenile drug courts
aim to help youth reduce delinquency and substance use, yet
staff often lack the training and tools to increase protective
factors and build on existing strengths in the youth and her/
his environment. The goal of this presentation is to introduce
the strengths perspective and how it applies to juvenile justice
settings. The presenter will lead a discussion about the benefits
of a strength-based approach to assessment and service delivery
for youth with juvenile justice involvement and substance use
issues. The presentation will provide an overview of a strengthbased assessment tool, the Youth Competency Assessment, and
discuss the benefits of implementing strength based approaches
into our work.
Learning Objectives
• Gain an understanding of the strength-based perspective
and why it is appropriate for juvenile drug courts;
Screening, Assessment and Triage:
Applications of the SAFERR Model in FDTC
Assessment is a process by which the presence and immediacy
of an issue, its nature and extent, as well as appropriate
treatment and case plans are identified. A balanced approach
is required for incorporating family issues and risks for children
when child welfare, the courts, and alcohol and drug treatment
come together to partner in assessing and providing services
for helping families change. Providing a structure to create and
sustain change in substance-abusing families is both possible
and feasible.
Learning Objectives
• Understand that the FDTC Team is the decision-making tool
and that people, not instruments, make decisions;
• Recognize that problems do not appear in separate silos,
but are linked together in overlapping ways;
• Discuss how assessment is not a one-person responsibility,
and how systems need to interact with each other.

Working with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
and Transgender Drug Court Participant
The odds are good that your drug court has lesbian, gay,
bisexual, or transgender participants whether you know
about them or not. From a cultural perspective effectively
individualizing treatment for an LGBT individual will require
accurate assessment and heightened sensitivity to both their
needs as LGBTs and accessibility issues of the treatment system.
This workshop will cover definitions, values, and drug treatment
issues with the hope of improving practitioner sensitivity and
knowledge base about this important treatment population.
Learning Objectives
• Define key terms needed to understand LGBT participants;
• Identify at least two values they hold strongly that deal with
sexual orientation and gender;
• Recognize at least two things they can do to make their drug
court team more LGBT friendly.

Evaluating a Pre-Filing Dependency
Family Preservation Court: Results and
Recommendations from an Innovative
Program
This workshop is designed for any county court and/or social
services agency desiring information on the effectiveness of
an actively operating Pre-Filing Family Preservation Court (AKA
Family Treatment Dependency Drug Court). We will present
information on the current Pre-Filing Family Preservation Court
Program in Riverside including the components of the program
and the evaluation, the barriers and challenges encountered
www.nadcp.org
during the evaluation, and the outcomes from the 3-year
SAMHSA funded evaluation. Family Preservation Court is
accomplished through the implementation of an innovative,
comprehensive, and family-centered approach to keep families
together prior to the removal of children from their home and
filing of the petition with the court. The Family Preservation Court
targets drug-dependent clients who have been reported to the
Department of Public Social Services for reported neglect with a

Incentives and Sanctions in Juvenile
Drug Court
The Academy DWI Courts – How Model
DWI Courts Do It
Applying incentives and sanctions in juvenile drug courts
present significant challenges and opportunities. Juveniles are
not “little adults,” and thus, may not respond to sanctions or
incentives that may work for an older, more mature population.
Understanding the culture of youth, what your participants
value, and hearing what has worked in other juvenile drug courts
should help shape your court’s attitude and approach towards
applying incentives and sanctions in your juvenile drug court.
The four Academy DWI Court network serves as mentors for other
DWI Courts across the country. These courts work with NHTSA
and NCDC to evaluate and implement ongoing best practices and
other DWI court program reforms. The four courts will discuss
how they handle such issues as implementing a DWI Court,
what is needed in the operation of a DWI Court, developing an
effective drug testing procedure, and how to remain sustainable
during these rough economic times.
Learning Objective
Learning Objectives
• Learn strategies for what works in applying incentives
and sanctions in juvenile drug court.
• Learn how to access the DWI Academy Court network;

The Smoking Gun – Ethical Triggers in a
Drug Court Setting
Police and Probation Officers face unique challenges in drug
court. Some of these challenges are ethical ones. 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?
Learning Objective
• Learn how to identify and address ethical problems
in a drug court context.

The Role of the Prosecutor in Drug Court
The prosecutor must shed his traditional role as advocate
and work as part of a team in drug court. The prosecutor’s
responsibilities include screening candidates for the program
and making sure participants comply with the drug court
requirements. The prosecutor participates in a coordinated
strategy for responding to positive tests and other instances of
noncompliance. A prosecutor has to make decisions whether to
reinstate criminal prosecution if rehabilitation is unsuccessful.
Learning Objectives

The Role of Expressive Therapies in
Problem-Solving Courts
Development and Operation of a Girls
Drug Court
Expressive Therapy is a well-established method of treating
addiction and mental illness. It utilizes the creative process
to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional
well-being of individuals of all ages and levels of functioning.
Problem-solving courts can utilize Expressive Therapy as a
motivational tool, as a creative reward and/or sanction, and as
a means of enhancing and complementing the recovery process.
The purpose of this presentation is to assist participants in
obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary to implement
creative and expressive activities that complement the recovery
process. This presentation is aimed at problem-solving court
personnel (Adult, Family and Juvenile) and treatment providers.
Santa Clara County, California, has had a Juvenile Delinquency
Drug Court for more than ten years. Although a few girls have
historically been included in that program, it was focused on
delinquent male teens. Santa Clara received a SAMHSA grant to
develop a gender specific girls drug court. Judge Johnson and her
panelists will share their experience in working out protocols and
procedures. Partners in the program include the court, juvenile
probation, mental health, and drug and alcohol treatment as
well as an education specialist, and volunteer mentors from
community agencies. Eighteen months later we have graduated
more than a dozen girls from the program, have clearer intake
procedures and a number of “clean” babies born to the girls.
Learning Objectives
Learning Objectives
• Acquire knowledge about the therapeutic value of Expressive
Therapies;
• Receive a brief overview of gender specific needs
of adolescents particularly in drug treatment
(Why girls are different!);
• Learn about various types of Expressive Therapies, including

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders): Do You Know It When
You See It? Most of us know the facial anomalies associated with
FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome). We know it when we see it. Yet,
FAS is only the tip of the iceberg. Over 90% of those struggling
with developmental and functional deficits due to prenatal
exposure to alcohol have no outward physical sign. They go
unidentified and undiagnosed. They struggle silently. They end
up in trouble, first in school, then in the community. They do well
when institutionalized, then once released, they re-offend. This
workshop will provide a basic understanding of FASD, what to
look for, and how to meet their needs in your courts.

A Tale of Two Family Drug Courts:
“Show me the Money!”
Family Recovery Courts (FRCs, also known as Family Drug Courts)
serve the multiple and complex needs of families involved in
the child welfare system because of parental substance abuse.
While this intervention grows rapidly, few rigorous studies have
examined the effectiveness of these courts and even fewer
studies have explored whether this program results in potential
societal cost savings.
This presentation provides an overview of the context of FRCs
in Maryland and summarizes the results from two outcome, and
cost studies. One of these courts is in an urban area, the other
in a suburban area; one of the programs represents a systemwide reform effort. This presentation includes data derived from
administrative data collection of program participants and a
comparison group, to examine the influence of the program on:
• Amount of time children spend in out-of-home placements
• Permanency outcomes
• Time to permanency
• How quickly parents enter treatment
• Amount of time spent in treatment
• Likelihood of treatment completion
Learning Objectives
• Obtain a working knowledge of the current outcomes
and trends of Family Recovery Courts;
• Obtain an understanding of the potential child welfare
cost savings of implementing Family Recovery Courts;
• Learn about evaluation use for program sustainability.
• Discuss implications for social justice and health promotion
strategies among drug court judges.

Co-Occurring Disorders: Science and
Treatment Strategies
Many individuals with mental illness also are misusing or abusing
substances. Individuals who are addicted to street drugs often
manifest psychiatric symptoms. Hence, diagnosis and treatments
often can be cumbersome and difficult to understand. Despite the
fact that a majority of individuals have both conditions, clinicians
continue to struggle with implementing culturally appropriate
treatments due to stigma and its complexity.
Learning Objectives
• Participants will become familiar with the philosophy and
protocols underlying homeless court programs to include
referral processes, progressive disposition agreements and
alternative sentencing practices;
• Participants will learn how to develop the tools for
replicating a HCP in their community;
• Participants will learn how to begin to build a support network
to address issues related to the treatment of trauma, reduction
of charges, and diversion.

From Homeless Court Program to a
Response for Returning Veterans
In 1989, San Diego started the first Homeless Court Program
(HCP) in the nation. To counteract the effect of criminal cases
pushing homeless defendants further outside society, this
unique superior court program combines a progressive plea
bargain system, alternative sentencing structure, assurance of
“no custody,” and proof of program activities to address a full
range of misdemeanor offenses and bring homeless defendants
back into mainstream society. Increasingly, we find veterans
returning from Iraq and Afghanistan in our case files and
courtrooms. Collaborative courts are well positioned to build a
constructive response to evaluate and identify veterans’ ailments
while reaching out to the social service community in developing
an action plan to address the underlying cause of their behavior.

essential to promoting behavior change and successful program
completion for Latina clients. This presentation will discuss
values specific to Latinas and how adherence to these values
can impact on client’s behavior throughout the drug court
experience.
Learning Objectives
• List issues of societal, familial and environmental
factors for Latina clients;
• Recognize how cultural and gender issues affect
the Latina client’s perception and behavior;

Historical Trauma & the American
Indian: Rekindling the Sacred Fires for
Healing, Justice and Peace
For generations, American Indians suffered massive loss of life,
land, culture, kinship, and identity as the result of destructive
government policies. Their spiritual beliefs were outlawed, so
they were unable to heal. Furthermore, since these losses were
not acknowledged (until recently), the grieving process that
facilitates healing has been slow. Unresolved trauma is passed
on from generation to generation. Today, we are learning about
post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma within
context of the unresolved historical trauma suffered by the
American Indian. This workshop will provide a basic understanding
of the American Indian and unresolved historical trauma and its
implications for drug courts/Healing to Wellness Courts in terms
of blending the linear and holistic world views, trust-building,
assessment, family and community engagement, and treatment/
healing options, including the utilization of traditional indigenous
ceremonies and other activities of learning and healing.

Accepting Higher Risk and Higher Need
Offenders in Drug Treatment Courts (DTC)
This presentation will discuss the management and treatment
of violent and co-disordered offenders, ultimately showing
that those with a violent history can participate in a DTC. The
Downtown East Side of Vancouver, British Columbia (the DES)
has a reputation for having one of the poorest and most densely
populated addict communities in North America. Many addicts
of the DES have severe and long standing addictions to hard
drugs, while also suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder,
undiagnosed mental illness, HIV, AIDS and Hepatitis C. Violence
“on the street” is endemic. All DES addicts live with a certain
degree of violence everyday. The Drug Treatment Court of
Vancouver has relaxed its admission criteria, to accept some
addicted offenders who previously were convicted of violent
offenses ranging from simple assaults to robberies. Their greater
safety risk and higher needs challenge the DTC team’s capacity
to provide much needed treatment services while also protecting
public safety at all times.
Learning Objectives
Session B-22 • Identify challenges for integrating therapeutic services at a DTC
treatment centre for non-violent participants and participants
who pose a higher risk of exhibiting aggressive or violent
behaviour;
DATA - Survival: California Drug Court
Cost Study and the Importance of
Collecting Meaningful Data
• Learn how to work effectively with DTC participants who live
with a higher level of violence than is reflected in their criminal
record;
• Investigate tolerance levels within the DTC for managing
participants’ aggressive and violent behaviour in the DTC
treatment centre as well as in the community.

Research throughout the nation has consistently proven that
drug courts save taxpayer money. Although information on
the costs and benefits associated with drug courts has been
invaluable for policy makers and practitioners, few drug courts
have the resources to conduct cost-benefit studies at the local
level. The Judicial Council of California and NPC Research have
developed the Drug Court Cost Self-Evaluation Tool (DC-CSET)
to enable courts to determine their own costs and benefits.
Numerous courts throughout the state have used the tool and
results from the study have been used by policy makers and
practitioners alike, underscoring the need to collect meaningful
data. Results from the cost study courts will be presented. A
discussion of the importance of collecting meaningful data and
efforts to improve data collection will follow.
Learning Objectives
• Learn the importance of data collection as it applies to
program funding priorities;
• Learn what data elements need collecting along with an
overall description of how each element impacts the results;
• Receive an introduction to DC-CSET. See an overview of the
web based tool allowing you to better understand the impact
and benefits of implementation at the local level;
• Learn what is on the horizon; Near term and long term changes
that are coming; Auto calculation; California Case Management
System (CCMS).

Plenary
Twenty Years of Getting it Right
Over the last twenty years, Drug Courts have spread from Miami,
Florida to every U.S. state and territory as well as to nearly
twenty other countries throughout the world. The research about
Drug Court is clear…it works. But what about it works and just
how important is fidelity to the original Drug Court model, the
Ten Key Components? Does an adult Drug Court need to maintain
strict adherence to the Ten Key Components to have good
outcomes? Are the Ten Key Components necessary for other
populations and problem solving courts?
Session anchor Dr. Doug Marlowe will announce new findings
that answer these questions and an impressive panel of Federal
leaders, notable pioneers and researchers will discuss the
impact of the Drug Court model on the community and the
overall justice and treatment system.

Psychopharmacology
Alcohol and other drugs modify the body’s entire neurochemistry
once they enter the body’s system. Alcohol and other drugs
trigger a massive release of neurotransmitters within the brain’s
pleasure centers, inhibiting its ability to replenish its chemical
reservoirs. This session will provide practitioners with insight
into why an individual continually uses drugs to replenish
chemical reservoirs to feel “good” again.
Learning Objectives
• Understand the effect of drug use on mind and body;
• Learn to distinguish behaviors associated with use
and withdrawal of various drugs.

Family Treatment Court Research:
Developmental Needs and Practice
Implications
This presentation will discuss the study and findings from an
evaluation of a Family Treatment Court (FTC) in a northeastern,
mid-sized metropolitan city. This study involved access to the FTC
database enabling extensive record review of parents who were
ever referred to the FTC program (in the years 2003-2005). The
study examined certain demographic characteristics, severity
of substance use problems, parent-child factors, and severity
of mental health as possible influences upon the outcomes of
enrollment and completion of an FTC. Of particular interest is the
fact that there was virtually no drug court literature to suggest
predictors of enrollment in an FTC. There will be an emphasis on
the developmental needs of children and families involved with
FTCs, as well as implications for practice for professionals and
the child and family population served by FTCs.

Utilizing the Matrix Model in Drug
Court – An Evidence Based Approach
Evidence Based Programming
for Your Clients
The Matrix approach emphasizes the use of outpatient techniques
that focus on lifestyle changes, relapse prevention and changed brain
chemistry to educate participants on finding the Road to Recovery.
The model has proven effective to treat thousands of clients. Dr.
Nora Volkow stated “studies have shown the Matrix Model can be
used successfully in the treatment of addiction and is recognized as
a NIDA/SAMSHA list of approved evidenced-based programs.” This
course will provide information on how the model can be utilized
with drug courts, the phases of drug courts and provide information
for courts to achieve the highest possible treatment outcomes. A
must see for complex drug court participants.
To be effective and cost-efficient, services in drug courts must
be modified based upon the risk-and-needs profiles of clients,
and adapted over time in response to clients’ performance in
treatment. This presentation will review an evidence-based
approach to matching clients in drug courts to the most effective
and cost-efficient interventions.
Learning Objectives
• Understand the Matrix Model can be utilized in a
drug court setting;
• Describe the elements of the model and how it
differs from other treatment models;
• Describe the usefulness of the model and how it
can be utilized with the most difficult and complex
populations such as drug courts.

Engaging Minority Families
It is important to recognize the difference between being culturally
aware and culturally competent. Without truly understanding
the differences in the culture of minority families or why these
families might be suspicious of outside interventions, erroneous
assumptions may be made and opportunities to assist the family
may be missed, potentially heightening the distrust of helping
agencies. It is vital to understand how to approach different
cultures as people from all over the world immigrate to the US,
easily becoming overwhelmed with the challenges facing them.
Learning Objective
• Understand how to approach and engage minority
families in an authentic way, recognizing personal
biases and assumptions.

Sanctions in Adult Drug Court
How do we properly use sanctions to motivate behavior change?
Sometimes, I feel like I am being punitive and other times I
feel like I am coddling drug court participants. What is worse is
that our team is not getting the expected result from the use of
sanctions. In this interactive session we discuss who needs what
and when to effectively motivate behavior change with sanctions.
Learning objectives
• Understand how sanctions work;
• Recognize what sanctions work, for whom and when;
• Appreciate what sanctions don’t work.

Lessons Learned: EBP in the Real World
of Corrections
This workshop will explore the operational rewards and
challenges of initiating an evidence-based correctional model,
from the perspective of a recently-retired probation chief who
survived his own EBP implementation process. Real-life lessons,
learned the hard way, about the successes and pitfalls of
implementing EBP at the field level will be discussed from a drug
court perspective. Emphasis will be on the practical applications
of the “What Works” correctional literature and the trials and
tribulations of implementing (in real time and with limited
resources) the complex, interrelated practices that research
suggests may improve offender outcomes and enhance longterm public safety, if done with fidelity and sustainability.
Learning Objectives
• Educating participants on the latest in evidence-based
correctional concepts, while providing participants with
practical applications of the What Works research in a
“real world” drug court environment;

Developing a Community Court: How
to Keep a Project Moving Forward in a
Challenging Environment
In 2006, the San Francisco Superior Court, in partnership with
the Mayor’s Office and the Center for Court Innovation in New
York, undertook a needs assessment in the city’s high-crime
Tenderloin and SOMA neighborhood with the goal of opening a
community court there (the “Community Justice Center”). The
complexity of the neighborhood and the political environment
matched the complexity of developing this highly visible
program. Participants will learn about the trajectory of program
planning, including stories of success and ‘what we wish we
knew.’ Even before opening its doors, the Community Justice
Center obtained over $1.3 million in grants, and received strong
support from the San Francisco’s business community, residents;
at the same time, though, it generated significant opposition
from political activists. Throughout this tumultuous environment,
planners persevered and the project opened in March 2009.
Learning Objectives
• Learn the importance of thorough community engagement
and planning in the implementation of a community court;
• Understand how early and consistent collaboration can lead
to program development and expansion;

Cultural Issues and Perceptions
with Latinos
Drug court professionals find that Latino clients share common
issues as well as a great diversity at the same time. Identifying
cultural differences within this community is essential to
individualized treatment. This presentation will look at Latino
cultural issues and how perception, from both the client and
the practitioner can impact on perceived client behavior and
motivation. Incorporating the client’s cultural perspective will help
practitioners develop effective strategies, including culturally
appropriate sanctions and incentives that can help provide an
atmosphere that will enhance successful program completion.
Learning Objectives

18, Section 922(g)(3) which is a federal firearms prohibition
for individuals who abuse drugs. The speakers will focus on
the importance of documenting drug arrest, conviction, and
all test information in court and arrest records. We will show
how documenting this information will help the NICS prevent
prohibited individuals from possessing firearms. We will also
give an overview of the NICS and impacts court documentation
has on our process of enforcing firearm prohibitions.
Learning Objectives
• Understand the requirements of the federal law
prohibiting firearms for persons who abuse drugs;

Multisystemic Family Therapy and Tribal
Wellness (Drug) Court: Implementing
an Evidence Based Practice on the
Reservation
Multisystemic Family Therapy is an evidence based intervention
delivered in the home that has been effectively reducing youth
incarceration and out of home placement for the past 20 years.
The Southern Ute Community Action Program’s (SUCAP) Peaceful
Spirit MST program has been successfully delivering MST to
tribal families since 2000 and for 6 years has been the only
MST program implemented on a Native American reservation.
MST works by helping families change systems in their natural
environment and cannot be successful without full collaboration
of community partners. The Peaceful spirit program has proven
to be a valuable component of tribal wellness court and the
surrounding communities in Southwestern Colorado, achieving
significant reduction in out of home placement and arrest rates
for youth. This workshop will provide an overview of MST as
implemented in a culturally diverse rural setting, review program
outcomes over the last 6 years, and discuss the strengths,
struggles and lessons learned in successfully implementing
MST within a tribal wellness (drug) court system and reservation
community. Participants will interact in activities exploring
case examples and will develop community collaboration skills
relevant to working within any juvenile justice and drug court
treatment system.
Learning Objectives
• Describe the core treatment and community components
of Multisystemic Therapy;
• Understand the strengths and challenges of implementing a
rigorous evidence based practice in a tribal community and
wellness/drug court setting;
• Learn and practice effective cross systems collaboration skills
on behalf of youth and families with attention to successful
partnerships with wellness/drug courts;
• Report on clinical outcomes achieved by the Peaceful Spirit
MST team.

Issues, whose charge is to focus on improving the response of the
criminal justice system by promoting interbranch collaboration
at the state level and interagency collaboration at the local level.
This task force was originally funded by the Council of State
Governments. During this session, leaders representing the three
branches of government and criminal justice and mental health
partners will discuss various case vignettes, innovative ideas, and
specific plans formulated by the task force.

The Unbroken Cycle: A DEC Perspective
for Drug Court Practice
When working with clients, we find ourselves among men and
women who know very well the life of the drug endangered
child because they have lived these experiences in their own
childhoods. Finding ways to encourage the practice of parenting
while coping with behavioral concerns associated with their own
child’s trauma response can be challenging. This session will link
the drug endangered child experience from the perspective of
the adult survivor and the child whose parent can be empowered
to change the trajectory of their life experience.
Learning Objectives
• Provide an overview of the specific challenges of parenting
the drug endangered child;
• Describe the link between childhood experience and parenting
perspective in a way that can help participants deal with issues
of victimization and parenting-related resentments;
• Discuss the risk of relapse associated with reunification when a
parent may feel unprepared to handle parenting and recovery.

Ethics for Treatment Providers
Drug court is a paradigm shift for all members of the drug court
team. As members of the drug court, treatment providers may
attend staffing, where they share information about their clients
with prosecutors, judges, defense attorneys, probation, law
enforcement, CPS professionals, and others. This sharing of
information, along with many other issues in drug courts, creates
ethical issues for treatment providers. This session explores
these issues and offers some guidance on what ethical hurdles
to spot and how to overcome them.
Learning Objectives
• Identify ethical issues for treatment providers in drug court;
• Identify potential ethical pitfalls for treatment providers
in drug court;

The Impact of Daily Recovery Text
Messages on Drug Court Participants
This presentation will describe an innovative incentive that is
currently being pilot tested in the Brooklyn Treatment Court,
in Brooklyn, NY. In this program, 32 offenders graduating
from either Phase I or Phase II of the program were given a
subscription to a daily recovery text messaging service. Messages
were specifically chosen for their relevance to the drug court
population, and the messages have been configured so that they
appear to be sent directly by the judge, at a time of day selected
for maximum potential effect. The impact of this pilot program
is being assessed using information obtained by the court as
well as by administering a brief questionnaire at program entry,
at the end of the program and three months following program
completion. Court-based data include participant demographics,
program attendance, progress through each phase of the program
and drug testing results. Questionnaire data include commitment
to recovery, participation in recovery-oriented activities (e.g.,
12-step meetings), and program engagement. Focus groups with
participants will be conducted upon completion of the program,
in order to obtain more detailed information about individual
program impacts.
Learning Objectives
• Participants will be aware of the potential to incorporate new
technologies into their drug court activities;
• Participants will understand the novel ways that cell phone text
messaging can be used to enhance drug court outcomes;
• Participants will understand the impact that a brief cell phone
text messaging intervention had on young offenders at the
Brooklyn Treatment Court.

Genetics and Treatment Dispositions in
Drug Court for Judges
• Learn the fundamental steps in beginning a court clinic;
Judges, unless you were a trained scientist before attending law
school, possibly the most you know about human genetics came
from your sophomore’s biology review test. Drug court clients
are very sophisticated consumers of their drug of choice. They
select from often new designer drugs whose effects are widely
varied. Although it is critical for judges to understand the effects
of these drugs, all drug court professionals need to be trained
in their impact on supervision and treatment planning. Have
you tried everything available with that one client and nothing
seems to work? Maybe it’s a key molecular mechanism and not
your program. This session addresses the basics of genetics,
the mechanisms and means by which genes can help predict
behavior associated with addictive disorders.
• Achieve an understanding of which types of mental illness
are most effectively treated with medication management
and education.
Learning Objectives
• Genetics – Basic definitions and applications;
Genetics for Judges;
• Changing thoughts and biologics to prevent, treat
and assist other treatment of addictive disorders.

Session D-23 Engaging the African American Family
in Drug Court
The role of the family has been extensively examined by
criminologist, with findings often showing a direct link between
inconsistent parenting and lack of family support. The family
does play a significant role in the offender’s life both before
and after participating in a Drug Court or other problem solving
courts. As it relates to the African American family, it is vital
to recognize differences between being culturally aware and
culturally competent. Therefore, additional efforts must be made
to engage families in the offender’s treatment court experience
to improve program compliance.
Learning Objectives
• Educate the family to understand, support and
participate in the recovery process;
• Understand how to approach and engage minority
families in an authentic way, recognizing personal
biases and assumptions.

Psychological and Social Needs of
Children Impacted by Addiction
The FDTC Team should be familiar with the critical aspects of
child development in order to create child-sensitive, strengthbased case plans. The effects of maltreatment on children’s early
brain development can be extensive; it is rarely the case that a
maltreated infant has no symptoms. Early language delays can
affect both a child’s ability to learn in school and his/her behavior.
It is imperative that a child’s capabilities and adult expectations of
that child coincide. The FDTC Team must know how to advocate for
the child with the parent and to assist the parent in advocating for
psychological and social needs of children.

Adolescent CRA—Learn the Power of
this Evidence Based Treatment!
After more than 20 years of successful clinical trials with
adults the Adolescent version of the Community Reinforcement
Approach was developed and tested from 1997-2001 in the
largest clinical trial ever conducted with adolescents, The
Cannabis Youth Treatment study funded by the Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment. Since then additional successful
clinical trials have been published and A-CRA is recognized
on the National Registry of Effective Programs and Practices
(NREPP). Participants attending this session will learn about
this important treatment program from one of the premier
A-CRA trainers. A-CRA is especially well-suited to youth with low
motivation to participate in treatment, accepts them where they
are, and works with the parents or other caregivers at a point in
treatment where all can benefit from improved communication,
problem solving and other recovery-enhancing activities.
Learning Objectives
• The underlying theory and research support for A-CRA;
• How therapy is conducted, including the flexible use of
several behavioral procedures, with special emphasis on their
application to resistant youth;
• Training and certification for clinicians and clinical supervisors.

Consumers’ Perspectives on
Drug Courts
This presentation focuses on a study, funded, in part by a grant
from the University of California Policy Research Council of
consumer perspectives on factors associated with success or
failure from Drug Court programs. This study involved interviews
with over 90 successful and 90 unsuccessful adult offenders
who had participated in one of two Drug Courts: the Substance
Abuse Treatment Court (SATC) of Santa Barbara, one of the first
200 Drug Courts to be implemented in the United States, and a
Proposition 36 Court which has been operating in accordance
with Drug Court guidelines since 2001. Interviews incorporated
open-ended questions, and two structured questionnaires, the
Treatment Motivation Questionnaire, and the Mental Health
Statistics Improvement Program (MHSIP) Adult Consumer
Survey. Findings will address differences between successful and
unsuccessful participants as well as within group variation with
regard to personal, familial, social and programmatic strengths,
needs and concerns.
Learning Objectives
• Learn about differences between successful and unsuccessful
Drug Court clients with regard to self-reported (a) motivation
for treatment, (b) utilization of services, and (c) social supports
and stressors;
• Learn what Drug Court participants perceive as the most and
least helpful aspects of treatment;
Learning Objectives
• Learn to what the successful program participants attribute
their success and to what the unsuccessful program
participants attribute their failures;
• Understand how the youth lifestyle manipulates the
youth culture to a life of crime;
• Learn how the perspectives of Drug Court participants can be
used to help inform treatment decisions.
• Understand the thinking, attitudes, and behaviors
of young adults in the criminal justice system;
• Understand how acute stress and adjustment disorders
affect this population;
• Understand the psychology of emerging adulthood;
what is known, and what remains to be known;
• Learn new techniques of how to educate 18-25 year old
marijuana users about the drug.

Opiates and Prescription Drugs
Patterns of drug use with illicit and pharmaceutical opioids are
ever-changing. The National Institute on Drug Abuse’s (NIDA)
2006 Monitoring the Future Survey showed continued high rates
of non-medical use of prescription medications, especially opioid
painkillers. For example, while past year OxyContin abuse was
down among twelfth grade students-from 5.5 percent in 2005 to
4.3 percent in 2006-the rate nearly doubled among eighth graders
between 2002 and 2006, from 1.3 percent to 2.6 percent, and
Vicodin continues to be abused at a 9.7 percent rate for twelfth
graders, seven percent for tenth graders and three percent for
eighth graders. Use of pharmaceutical opiates among adults,
as described by NIDA’s Community Epidemiology Workgroup, is
showing increases in a number of major cities across the U.S. This
presentation will discuss the impact of illicit and pharmaceutical
opioids on the addict and ways to treat this population.
• Learn the impact of illicit and pharmaceutical opiates.

Motivational Incentives in Drug Court
This workshop will review the principles of reward and
punishment and discuss specific considerations in applying
these principles to the drug court system. Emphasis will be on
using a balance of rewards for good behavior and sanctions for
behavioral infractions. The use of positive incentives throughout
the system (e.g. by parole officers, case managers and judges)
will be emphasized. The content, magnitude and timing of these
interventions will be discussed as will practical considerations
about how the interventions might best be applied and
coordinated within a drug court program. Overall, the workshop
will seek to provide a perspective on the balanced use of rewards
and sanctions as well as practical considerations about how this
could be accomplished in individual drug courts.

Addiction in Drug Court Participants
This workshop explores the often over-looked co-occurring
disorder known as sex addiction. This fascinating presentation
will confront common myths and expose sexual compulsive
disorder as the disabling, livelihood and life-threatening
condition that it is. Using both research and cases ripped from
the headlines, participants will understand the most common
causes; recognize the clearest indicators, and survey the most

African American Focused Reentry
Re-entry courts are rapidly gaining momentum throughout the
United States. With many people being released from prison
and returning to their communities, coupled with the success
of the reentry court model, applying the drug court model to
facilitate success in reintegrating these persons into society
is a cost-effective and proven strategy. In many communities,
a disproportionate number of people imprisoned and leaving
prison for reentry courts are African American. Therefore,
many communities have a need to concentrate resources on
reintegrating these men and women back into their communities
successfully. This session will focus on reentry courts that have
shown innovation and improved outcomes by doing just that.
Learning Objectives
• Recognize the need for reentry court initiatives targeting
African American participants;
• Learn the elements necessary for tailoring a reentry program
to meet the needs of the African American participant;
• Identify ways to organize available resources in the community
to improve services for African American participants in
reentry courts.

not to be missed. It outlines fundamental information on MAT,
along with discussions of conquering hurdles and applying best
practices to the critical component of MAT in your drug court.
Learning Objectives

Best Practices in Adult Drug Courts:
Reduce Recidivism and Costs!
What practices are being implemented in drug courts across
the nation? What practices are related to reduced recidivism
and costs? This panel describes results from the latest research
and evaluations performed by NPC Research including 24 drug
courts in Maryland, 40 drug courts in Missouri, 29 drug courts in
California, and over 30 drug courts in Oregon as well drug courts
in Indiana, Michigan, Vermont and Guam. These studies examine
the relationship between drug court practices and graduation
rate, recidivism and costs including: 1) the impact of 10 years
of operation in a mature drug court (over 6,000 participants),
2) variations in practices among drug courts in multiple states
with focus on which practices result in better outcomes, and 3) a
comparison between drug court programs with and without the
use of jail as a sanction. Highlights include the findings that drug
court participants had significantly lower recidivism up to 14
years after drug court entry than similar eligible offenders who
did not participate, that investment in drug court programs can
cost less than traditional court processing, and that the longer
judges preside over drug court, the better their participant
recidivism rates. In addition, drug courts that provide training on
the drug court model for all team members had 10 times the cost
savings (due to lower recidivism) than drug courts that did not
provide training for the whole team. The information presented in
this session is of interest to drug court practitioners in all roles.
Learning Objectives
• Gain knowledge about current research related to
adult and juvenile drug courts;
• Obtain information about the current best and
promising practices in adult and juvenile drug courts;
• Learn which drug court practices are associated with
lower recidivism and lower recidivism costs.

Building and Maintaining Enduring
Alumni Groups
Drug Court Works! Now what? Consider an alumni group. This
resource is for graduates and participants, who are trying to
bridge the gap between active addiction and reentering the
mainstream of life in recovery. Active alumni groups can also be
a resource to create positive community based connectivity and
instill a sense of being a part of the bigger picture for individual
members. This is accomplished by the alumni group sponsoring
and organizing drug free events such as social activities,
supporting charities, and facilitating a mentor program.
Let’s keep the momentum and enthusiasm going!
Challenges exist when trying to meet time frames for
permanency due to substance abuse issues. Substance abuse
recovery and the time-lines for achieving permanency are
often in opposition to one another, and non-compliance due to
substance abuse relapse can further push the parent toward
permanently losing their child through a Termination of Parental
Rights proceeding. This presentation, based on an actual Lee
County child welfare case, will examine the role of the family
when termination of parental rights (TPR) is imminent.
Learning Objectives
•U

• Explore innovative strategies to satisfy mandated time frames.
• Show drug court practitioners how to structure, implement
and, more importantly, how to motivate an Alumni Group;

Promoting Best Practices with LGBTQ
Youth in Juvenile Drug Courts
This workshop is intended to provide juvenile drug court staff
with tools and resources to effectively work with and advocate
for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ)
youth served by juvenile drug courts. According to Estrada
& Marksamer (2006), LGBTQ youth are disproportionately
represented in the Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare systems,
and are routinely subjected to differential treatment because of
their sexual orientation. Research has shown that LGBTQ youth
are more likely to face abuse and neglect at home, to be harassed
and victimized as school, and subsequently leave their home to
live on the streets to engage in illegal activities for survival. It is
when many of the youth are caught engaging in substance use,
shoplifting, and sex work that they enter our Juvenile Justice
Systems, and specifically our Juvenile Drug Courts.
In this presentation, the various levels of homophobia, including
internalized, institutional, and cultural, will be explored, as
will the resultant higher risk for substance abuse, unsafe
sex, homeless and suicide. The presentation will focus upon
86
evidenced-based practice and offer empirical data from the
presenters’ years of experience as Judge and Social Worker
serving LGBTQ youth in the Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare
Systems. Specifically, the presenters will provide strategies
used to combat the notion that there are no LGBTQ youth in our
Juvenile Drug Courts, that it is somehow the youth’s fault that s/
he is enduring harassment, and how best to avoid revictimizing
the victim of harassment and violence.

treating substance-abuse problems. It is based on the belief
that environmental contingencies can play a powerful role in
encouraging or discouraging drinking or drug use. Consequently,
it utilizes social, recreational, familial, and vocational reinforcers
to assist clients in the recovery process. Its goal is to make a
sober lifestyle more rewarding than the use of substances. Oddly
enough, however, while virtually every review of alcohol and
drug treatment outcome research lists CRA among approaches
with the strongest scientific evidence of efficacy, very few
clinicians are familiar with it. This session is presented by one of
the premier CRA clinician-trainers. We hope you will attend and
learn how CRA can benefit your Drug Court clients. Come see why
O, The Oprah Magazine featured CRA in 2007.

support for CRA;
Improving Treatment Effects:
The Critical Role of Probation
Focusing on efforts in Arizona, Florida, New Mexico, Oregon
and Georgia, this session will present and overview the role and
responsibilities of probation as a critical component of maintaining
and sustaining treatment progress and success. The level of
intensive probation participation on the drug court team, as well
as delivery of services to clients, is defined and documented in
programs. The results of evaluations have identified potential best
practices to enhance the performance of drug courts.
Learning Objectives
• Identify the emerging role of probation to enhance the
performance of drug court programs by supporting treatment
through supervision, collaboration, and service delivery;
• Present best practices in the probation activities from the
results of evaluations;
• Discuss the prospects and obstacles faced by probation
participation in drug court programs: expanding roles and
sustaining involvement.

Cocaine
Cocaine, used for centuries to alter consciousness and since the
1980s popular in its rock or “crack” form, has been a plague on
its users, criminal justice systems and the treatment community
for years. However, in many jurisdictions, crack has been falling
in popularity compared to meth and newer “club drugs.” Over
the last century, cocaine has seen surges and ebbs in popularity.
Come learn about the current trends in powder and crack cocaine
use in the United States.
Learning Objectives
• Understand patterns of change in cocaine usage over time;
• Learn about current trends in cocaine use in the U.S., including
the falling popularity of cocaine in some areas compared to
newer, trendier drugs.

Supervision: It’s More Than Office Visits
and Court Appearances
Supervision is a critical component of every DWI Court, and it is
more than just having the participant show up at the office or in
court. Effective supervision strategies for supervising DWI Court
clients, including the resistant participant, will be discussed during
this session. Attending this class will help you assess your needs
and provide suggestions on topics ranging from responses to
behaviors–negative and positive, creative supervision strategies,
the importance of honesty, and effective drug and alcohol
monitoring. Additional critical topics include building a rapport,
and the balance between accountability and social support. A
graduate from the program is included on the panel and he will
share what worked and didn’t work from his perspective.
Learning Objectives
Session F-14 • Identify the importance of holding each client
accountable for his/her behavior;
HOPE
• Understand specific and creative supervision
strategies in field work/home visits;
Drug courts have proven to be an effective tool for assisting
drug addicted probationers. Come and learn about a new
approach, Hawaii’s Opportunity Probation with Enforcement,
or HOPE Probation, that allows a judge or judges to effectively
supervise many probationers and yet, at the same time, carry a
trial caseload. HOPE provides for swift and certain sanctions for
non-compliance with the terms of probation, and as shown by
a randomized controlled trial evaluation, to greatly reduce drug
use, missed appointments, probation revocations and arrests for
new crimes. Drug Courts and HOPE – what a combo!
• Learn techniques to providing social support
without enabling.

step toward certification if desired. Participants will review the
current Arizona Certificate of Assurance, discuss the elements
included, prepare their own Certificate of Assurance and view an
associated monitoring report.
Learning Objectives
• Understand the multiple roles of a Certificate of Assurance;
• Understand the core elements of a Certificate of Assurance;
• Understand the variable elements of a Certificate of Assurance;
• Develop individualized, court-specific Certificates of Assurance;

Your Personal Tour of The National
Meth Center Website and What It Can
Do For You
The National Methamphetamine Training and Technical
Assistance Center was created in 2007 with a grant from
Community Oriented Policing Services Office. The National Meth
Center mission is to offer support to all stakeholders in the fight
against methamphetamine abuse – from law enforcement and
treatment professionals to soccer moms and school teachers.
What The Math Center’s organizers realized early is that while
a great deal of meth information exists on the Internet, finding
specific topics or geographic resources can be difficult. When
one asks Google to search for “meth” he or she is rewarded
with more than 16 million references. The National Meth Center
website was crafted, in part, to guide those seeking information.
In some cases the information was researched and written by
our staff. In other cases users will be pointed to a link that takes
them to what they are looking for. Every meth topic is covered
from meth’s physical toll to treatment options and from how to
spot a meth lab to signs your son or daughter may be using.

of drug court (and other problem-solving court) practices in
Maryland, California, Idaho, and other jurisdictions.
Learning Objectives
• Identify legal challenges to drug court practices
throughout the nation;
• Learn the arguments and outcomes of these legal challenges;
• Discuss the opportunities these challenges present

Important Information
Indication1
VIVITROL is indicated for the treatment of alcohol dependence in patients who are able to abstain from
alcohol in an outpatient setting prior to initiation of treatment with VIVITROL.
Patients should not be actively drinking at the time of initial VIVITROL administration.
Treatment with VIVITROL should be part of a comprehensive management program that includes
psychosocial support.
Important safety information1
Naltrexone has the capacity to cause hepatocellular injury when given in excessive doses.
Naltrexone is contraindicated in acute hepatitis or liver failure, and its use in patients with active
liver disease must be carefully considered in light of its hepatotoxic effects.
The margin of separation between the apparently safe dose of naltrexone and the dose causing
hepatic injury appears to be only five-fold or less.VIVITROL does not appear to be a hepatotoxin
at the recommended doses.
Patients should be warned of the risk of hepatic injury and advised to seek medical attention if they
experience symptoms of acute hepatitis. Use of VIVITROL should be discontinued in the event of
symptoms and/or signs of acute hepatitis.
VIVITROL is contraindicated in patients receiving or dependent on opioids, in acute opioid withdrawal,
and in those who have failed the naloxone challenge test or have a positive urine screen for opioids;
and in those with previous hypersensitivity to naltrexone, PLG, carboxymethylcellulose, or any other
components of the diluent.
Patients must be opioid free for a minimum of 7-10 days before treatment.Attempts to overcome
opioid blockade due toVIVITROL may result in fatal overdose.In prior opioid users,use of opioids after
discontinuingVIVITROL may result in fatal overdose because patients may be more sensitive to lower
doses of opioids.Patients requiring reversal of theVIVITROL blockade for pain management should be
monitored by appropriately trained personnel in a setting equipped for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Consider the diagnosis of eosinophilic pneumonia if patients develop progressive dyspnea and
hypoxemia. Injection site reactions not improving may require prompt medical attention.Alcohol
dependent patients, including those taking VIVITROL, should be monitored for the development of
depression or suicidal thinking. Caution is recommended in administering VIVITROL to patients with
moderate to severe renal impairment.
The most common adverse events associated with VIVITROL in clinical trials were nausea, vomiting,
headache, dizziness, asthenic conditions, and injection site reactions.

BRIEF SUMMARY See package insert for full Prescribing Information.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE: VIVITROL is indicated for the treatment of alcohol dependence
in patients who are able to abstain from alcohol in an outpatient setting prior to initiation
of treatment with VIVITROL. Patients should not be actively drinking at the time of initial
VIVITROL administration. Treatment with VIVITROL should be part of a comprehensive
management program that includes psychosocial support. CONTRAINDICATIONS: VIVITROL is
contraindicated in: • Patients receiving opioid analgesics (see PRECAUTIONS). • Patients with
current physiologic opioid dependence (see WARNINGS). • Patients in acute opiate withdrawal
(see WARNINGS). • Any individual who has failed the naloxone challenge test or has a positive
urine screen for opioids. • Patients who have previously exhibited hypersensitivity to naltrexone,
PLG, carboxymethylcellulose, or any other components of the diluent.
WARNINGS: Hepatotoxicity
Naltrexone has the capacity to cause hepatocellular injury when given in excessive doses.
Naltrexone is contraindicated in acute hepatitis or liver failure, and its use in patients with active
liver disease must be carefully considered in light of its hepatotoxic effects.
The margin of separation between the apparently safe dose of naltrexone and the dose causing
hepatic injury appears to be only five-fold or less. VIVITROL does not appear to be a hepatotoxin at
the recommended doses.
Patients should be warned of the risk of hepatic injury and advised to seek medical attention if they
experience symptoms of acute hepatitis. Use of VIVITROL should be discontinued in the event of
symptoms and/or signs of acute hepatitis.
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. Should a person receiving VIVITROL develop
progressive dyspnea and hypoxemia, the diagnosis of eosinophilic pneumonia should be
considered (see ADVERSE REACTIONS). 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. Unintended Precipitation of Opioid Withdrawal—To prevent occurrence of an
acute abstinence syndrome (withdrawal) in patients dependent on opioids, or exacerbation
of a pre-existing subclinical abstinence syndrome, patients must be opioid-free for a
minimum of 7-10 days before starting VIVITROL treatment. Since the absence of an opioid
drug in the urine is often not sufficient proof that a patient is opioid-free, a naloxone
challenge test should be employed if the prescribing physician feels there is a risk of
precipitating a withdrawal reaction following administration of VIVITROL. Opioid Overdose
Following an Attempt to Overcome Opiate Blockade VIVITROL is not indicated for the purpose
of opioid blockade or the treatment of opiate dependence. Although VIVITROL is a potent antagonist
with a prolonged pharmacological effect, the blockade produced by VIVITROL is surmountable. This
poses a potential risk to individuals who attempt, on their own, to overcome the blockade by
administering large amounts of exogenous opioids. Indeed, any attempt by a patient to overcome
the antagonism by taking opioids is very dangerous and may lead to fatal overdose. Injury may
arise because the plasma concentration of exogenous opioids attained immediately following their
acute administration may be sufficient to overcome the competitive receptor blockade. As a
consequence, the patient may be in immediate danger of suffering life-endangering opioid
intoxication (e.g., respiratory arrest, circulatory collapse). Patients should be told of the serious
consequences of trying to overcome the opioid blockade (see INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS).There
is also the possibility that a patient who had been treated with VIVITROL will respond to lower doses
of opioids than previously used. This could result in potentially life-threatening opioid intoxication
(respiratory compromise or arrest, circulatory collapse, etc.). Patients should be aware that they
may be more sensitive to lower doses of opioids after VIVITROL treatment is discontinued (see
INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS). PRECAUTIONS: General—When Reversal of VIVITROL Blockade
is Required for Pain Management In an emergency situation in patients receiving VIVITROL, a
suggested plan for pain management is regional analgesia, conscious sedation with a
benzodiazepine, and use of non-opioid analgesics or general anesthesia. In a situation requiring
opioid analgesia, the amount of opioid required may be greater than usual, and the resulting
respiratory depression may be deeper and more prolonged. A rapidly acting opioid analgesic which
minimizes the duration of respiratory depression is preferred. The amount of analgesic
administered should be titrated to the needs of the patient. Non-receptor mediated actions may
occur and should be expected (e.g., facial swelling, itching, generalized erythema, or
bronchoconstriction), presumably due to histamine release. 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. Depression and
Suicidality In controlled clinical trials of VIVITROL, adverse events of a suicidal nature (suicidal
ideation, suicide attempts, completed suicides) were infrequent overall, but were more common in
patients treated with VIVITROL than in patients treated with placebo (1% vs. 0). In some cases, the
suicidal thoughts or behavior occurred after study discontinuation, but were in the context of an
episode of depression which began while the patient was on study drug. Two completed suicides
occurred, both involving patients treated with VIVITROL. Depression-related events associated with
premature discontinuation of study drug were also more common in patients treated with VIVITROL
(~1%) than in placebo-treated patients (0). In the 24-week, placebo-controlled pivotal trial,
adverse events involving depressed mood were reported by 10% of patients treated with VIVITROL
380 mg, as compared to 5% of patients treated with placebo injections. Alcohol dependent
patients, including those taking VIVITROL, should be monitored for the development of depression
or suicidal thinking. Families and caregivers of patients being treated with VIVITROL should be
alerted to the need to monitor patients for the emergence of symptoms of depression or suicidality,
and to report such symptoms to the patient’s healthcare provider. Injection Site Reactions
VIVITROL injections may be followed by pain, tenderness, induration, or pruritus. In the clinical
trials, one patient developed an area of induration that continued to enlarge after 4 weeks, with
subsequent development of necrotic tissue that required surgical excision. Patients should be
informed that any concerning injection site reactions should be brought to the attention of the
physician (see INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS). 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. Alcohol
Withdrawal Use of VIVITROL does not eliminate nor diminish alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
Intramuscular injections As with any intramuscular injection, VIVITROL should be administered
with caution to patients with thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder (e.g., hemophilia and
severe hepatic failure). Information for Patients Physicians are advised to consult Full Prescribing
Information for information to be discussed with patients for whom they have prescribed VIVITROL.
Drug Interactions Patients taking VIVITROL may not benefit from opioid-containing medicines
(see PRECAUTIONS, Pain Management). Because naltrexone is not a substrate for CYP drug
metabolizing enzymes, inducers or inhibitors of these enzymes are unlikely to change the
clearance of VIVITROL. No clinical drug interaction studies have been performed with VIVITROL to
evaluate drug interactions, therefore prescribers should weigh the risks and benefits of concomitant
drug use. The safety profile of patients treated with VIVITROL concomitantly with antidepressants
was similar to that of patients taking VIVITROL without antidepressants. Carcinogenesis,
Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with
VIVITROL. Carcinogenicity studies of oral naltrexone hydrochloride (administered via the diet) have
been conducted in rats and mice. In rats, there were small increases in the numbers of testicular
mesotheliomas in males and tumors of vascular origin in males and females. The clinical
significance of these findings is not known. Naltrexone was negative in the following in vitro
genotoxicity studies: bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test), the heritable translocation
assay, CHO cell sister chromatid exchange assay, and the mouse lymphoma gene mutation assay.
Naltrexone was also negative in an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. In contrast, naltrexone
tested positive in the following assays: Drosophila recessive lethal frequency assay, non-specific
DNA damage in repair tests with E. coli and WI-38 cells, and urinalysis for methylated histidine
residues. Naltrexone given orally caused a significant increase in pseudopregnancy and a decrease
in pregnancy rates in rats at 100 mg/kg/day (600 mg/m2/day). There was no effect on male fertility
at this dose level. The relevance of these observations to human fertility is not known. 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 Oral naltrexone has been shown to increase the incidence of early
fetal loss in rats administered ≥30 mg/kg/day (180 mg/m2/day) and rabbits administered ≥60 mg/
kg/day (720 mg/m2/day). 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. Labor and Delivery The potential effect of VIVITROL
on duration of labor and delivery in humans is unknown. Nursing Mothers Transfer of naltrexone
and 6β-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. 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. ADVERSE REACTIONS: In all controlled and uncontrolled trials
during the premarketing development of VIVITROL, more than 900 patients with alcohol and/or
opioid dependence have been treated with VIVITROL. Approximately 400 patients have been
treated for 6 months or more, and 230 for 1 year or longer. Adverse Events Leading to
Discontinuation of Treatment In controlled trials of 6 months or less, 9% of patients treated with
VIVITROL discontinued treatment due to an adverse event, as compared to 7% of the patients
treated with placebo. Adverse events in the VIVITROL 380-mg group that led to more dropouts 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. Common Adverse Events The most
common adverse events associated with VIVITROL in clinical trials were nausea, vomiting, headache,
dizziness, fatigue, and injection site reactions. For a complete list of adverse events, please refer to
the VIVITROL package insert for full Prescribing Information. A majority of patients treated with
VIVITROL in clinical studies had adverse events with a maximum intensity of “mild” or “moderate.”
Post-marketing Reports—Reports From Other Intramuscular Drug Products Containing
Polylactide-co-glycolide (PLG) Microspheres – Not With VIVITROL. Retinal Artery
Occlusion Retinal artery occlusion after injection with another drug product containing
polylactide-co-glycolide (PLG) microspheres has been reported very rarely during postmarketing surveillance. This event has been reported in the presence of abnormal
arteriovenous anastomosis. No cases of retinal artery occlusion have been reported during
VIVITROL clinical trials or post-marketing surveillance. VIVITROL should be administered
by intramuscular (IM) injection into the gluteal muscle, and care must be taken to avoid
inadvertent injection into a blood vessel (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
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 Prescribing
Information (VIV 566 Oct 07).
