Medication-Assisted Treatment in Drug Courts Virtual Learning Community: Addressing the Concerns of Court Staff about MAT
April 20, 2021 @ 1:00 pm
Despite the documented efficacy of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and its designation as the “gold-standard” in the treatment of opioid use disorders, resistance among court officials has resulted in underutilization of this treatment option in some jurisdictions. This webinar will identify barriers to MAT acceptance by prosecution, defense, judges, and other members of the treatment court team, and will outline several approaches for addressing these common concerns of court staff about MAT. A site-specific strategy for providing training to drug court staff will be discussed.
