Opioid use disorders (OUDs) are associated with criminal behavior, arrest, and incarceration.

Effective treatments are needed to reduce the burden of OUDs on public safety and on the public health. Fortunately, there are three medications that are approved for the treatment of opioid dependence. In addition to and overview of the role of medications in treating OUD, this webinar will focus on the judge’s role and responsibilities when working with clients who use substances.

This webinar builds on the information from the June 22nd Webinar, Science of Medication for Substance Use Disorder, which while helpful, is not required to attend this webinar.
