Programmes within correctional or community settings focusing on treatment and re-entry support following release to facilitate reintegration e.g., counselling and employment services.
This session explores how a successful partnership was formed between addiction medicine providers and a drug treatment court. Presenters will explain how the collaboration began, how it is funded, and how it has been maintained.
Background: Across Europe, people who use drugs face persistent barriers to housing, decent work, healthcare and safety. All too often, ‘reintegration’ tends to be tied largely to abstinence, at the risk of excluding those who are not ready, or do not wish, to stop using psychoactive substances.
Time: 3PM - 4:30PM Eastern Time
