Recent Advances in Evidence-Based Drug Treatment for Persons in the Criminal Justice System
Duration: Half-day session (Afternoon)
Training Group:

Roger H. Peters, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor, University of South Florida, Vice-President of ICUDDR, and member of the ICATI Executive Leadership Team; rhp [at] usf [dot] edu (rhp[at]usf[dot]edu)
Description:
Criminal justice systems in many countries are overwhelmed by the increasing numbers of persons who have substance use disorders. Over half of persons in most criminal justice systems have a diagnosable substance use disorder and need drug treatment. These persons are frequently arrested, incarcerated, or placed on supervised release in the community, typically without access to quality drug treatment. If treatment is available it is often of poor quality, resulting in relapse and cycling back into criminal courts and into short- and long-term incarceration. This diminishes the credibility of drug treatment and encourages the belief that treatment is ineffective and a waste of resources. Fortunately, a considerable amount of clinical research has recently been conducted to identify effective treatment approaches. This workshop will explore evidence-based approaches for screening, assessment, treatment (including cognitive-behavioral and pharmacological interventions, and those that address criminality and risk for recidivism), case management, and reentry services that can help to interrupt the cycle of drug use and crime. The workshop will also identify criminal justice treatment services that are not effective.

Addressing this urgent need, this workshop is designed to provide participants with practical, evidence-based skills to detect, assess, and manage these comorbidities effectively.
Participants will be guided through a comprehensive learning experience that includes interactive lectures, structured case discussions, and hands-on role-play sessions. Emphasis will be placed on real-world clinical applications, including how to identify early warning signs, perform biopsychosocial assessments, and formulate personalized treatment plans that integrate pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches. The workshop also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure holistic and recovery-oriented care.
This training is intended for psychiatrists, psychologists, general practitioners, and addiction counselors who are seeking to deepen their competence in treating complex addiction cases, particularly within the evolving landscape of behavioral addictions in Indonesia.
