All Rise is proud to share Peer Recovery Support Specialists in Adult Drug Treatment Courts: A National Survey. Despite the growing use of Peer Recovery Support Specialists (PRSSs) in treatment courts, little is known about their qualifications, roles, or effectiveness. To address this knowledge gap, a national survey of adult drug treatment court coordinators was conducted to understand how these programs are using PRSSs and whether common structures of implementation are emerging.

🔍 Stay Informed: Recent Legislation Impacting SUD Treatment Providers SUD treatment providers: take note of these recent legislative developments reshaping the landscape of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment: AB 1360, the Hope California: Secured Residential Treatment Pilot Program, grants authority to the Counties of Sacramento and Yolo to establish pilot programs offering secured residential treatment for individuals battling SUDs, particularly those convicted of "drug-motivated" felony crimes. This initiative underscores a targeted approach to rehabilitation and recovery. SB 46, Controlled Substances: Treatment, mandates that individuals convicted of drug offenses and granted probation or sentenced under PC Sec. 1170(h) must complete a controlled substance education or treatment program while on probation. The bill outlines program standards and enhances requirements for drug diversion education and counseling, emphasizing comprehensive support for those navigating the criminal justice system. These legislative updates signify significant progress in addressing substance use disorders and promoting rehabilitation within our communities. Stay informed and adapt to these changes to ensure effective support for individuals on the journey to recovery. #SUDTreatment #LegislativeUpdates #AB1360 #SB46 #RehabilitationEfforts #StayInformed

Quebec criminal lawyers have welcomed a new directive from the provincial minister of justice, instructing Crown prosecutors to prioritize public interest and safety when deciding whether to prosecute cases of simple drug possession. This directive is expected to alleviate the backlog in the provincial court system by diverting minor drug cases away from prosecution. While the directive aligns with changing public attitudes and federal policies like Bill C-5, it does not signal a shift towards decriminalization but rather a strategic effort to focus resources on more serious crimes. The approach emphasizes helping individuals with addiction issues through diversion programs rather than punitive measures. “This is definitely one way to kind of loosen a little bit the delays for cases where there’s maybe not as much moral culpability as some of the other crimes that they’re dealing with”: https://lnkd.in/d3XN28Ug

Understanding the Link Between Criminal Behavior and Substance Use Disorders Today, we begin our week-long series by exploring the critical intersection of criminal law and substance use disorders. At McGuigan Legal and Second Chance Interventions, we recognize that many criminal behaviors are not isolated incidents but are often symptoms of underlying substance use disorders. The relationship between substance use and criminal activity is well-documented. Research shows that a significant percentage of criminal offenses are committed by individuals currently using drugs or alcohol or those with substantial addiction histories. This understanding shapes our approach to legal defense and advocacy, emphasizing the need for interventions that address these root causes rather than merely punishing behaviors. Our aim is to promote rehabilitation and recovery as foundational aspects of the justice process. By focusing on treatment and support, we can help our clients not only navigate the legal system but also embark on a path to recovery and reintegration into society. #CriminalJusticeReform #SubstanceUseDisorder #LegalAdvocacy #Recovery #McGuiganLegal #SecondChanceInterventions

The #BluestarProject is currently training voluntary sexual violence services as part of the Gov's response to the IICSA report thanks to the Ministry of Justice. We know that services are still receiving blanket or speculative requests from the Police to access therapy notes. The CPS Guidelines are clear that this is not allowed and new changes coming soon from the Victims & Prisoners Bill will mean Police must have a substantive reason to request therapy notes. In the meantime, we have worked with the Police, CPS and sector leaders to create this Responding to Notes Requests Guide. It has everything you need to ensure that survivors voices are heard in a way that feels right for them through their notes, that the information sent back is relevant, proportionate and most importantly....their choice. Police cannot have access to all your notes, they can only request information that is a "reasonable line of enquiry" about the incident under investigation. Your client may also wish to share their information in a way that feels right for them. Inside you will find: • An email template to send to Police when you receive a notes request • A form for Police to complete to request information appropriately • A Cover Letter Template to send back to Police with your notes • Guidance on how to redact notes If you receive a notes request you are not sure about the very best thing you can do is pick up the phone to the OIC. If you need help drop us an email bluestarproject@the-green-house.org.uk Emma Harewood https://lnkd.in/gAkT7zaF

When you are charged with a drug offense in Ohio, you may have alternatives to the traditional court process. For example, you could be eligible for drug court, a specialty court aimed at helping you treat your addiction and avoid incarceration. These “courts” involve intensive supervision, treatment, and accountability through drug testing. Not everyone qualifies to participate in Ohio’s drug court program, and participation may not be the right choice for every person who is eligible. It is crucial that you consult a seasoned Ohio drug defense lawyer if you are charged with a drug crime so that you can evaluate all of your options. Contact DiCaudo, Pitchford & Yoder to schedule a consultation today. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gqAZpKgc #TrustedAttorneys #DeepLegalKnowledge #SuperiorClientCare #PremierLawFirmAkron #DiCaudoPitchfordYoder #CriminalDefenseAttorney #DrugCharge #CriminalDefense #CriminalCharge #DrugOffense #DrugOffenseFAQ

“We also found that the factors which are normally predictive of prosecutions for any crime don’t seem to apply when it comes to DIH prosecutions,” Carroll says. “For example, in general, the number of assistant district attorneys in a jurisdiction is normally predictive of the number of prosecutions in that jurisdiction. That doesn’t seem to be the case when it comes to DIH. The number of DIH prosecutions also doesn’t correlate to community-level variables, such as the number of overdoses or overdose deaths in a community. This creates significant uncertainty as to what drives prosecutorial decision-making regarding DIH. “This study was exploratory, but it’s concerning that so many survey respondents are making decisions about DIH prosecutions based – at least in part – on a belief that these prosecutions improve public health and safety by preventing overdoses,” Carroll says. “The available evidence suggests this could not be further from the truth.” https://lnkd.in/e2fmM3eM
