A 3-hour Training with Samuel MacMaster, PhD

August 25, 2023

12:30pm-4pm

PRESENTATION: The opioid epidemic has garnered most of the headlines and attention, yet a recent rise in stimulant use is shifting the needs of individuals engaged in community corrections and substance use treatment services.  These needs require tailored approaches to ensure that all individuals are appropriately served by drug court teams.  This presentation will review the current state of stimulant use, provide a review of evidence-based approaches and real world suggestions that best meet the needs of stimulant users, and discuss barriers and facilitators to serving individuals who use stimulants (with or without other drug use).  Participants will develop a higher level of competency and confidence in working with people who use stimulants who are enrolled in drug court programs.

OBJECTIVES:
