Medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) are considered the first line and standard-of-care treatment for OUD.

Without them, people with OUD are at high risk of death. However, each medication comes with different physical properties and federal regulations that influence client care plans. Using case examples, this webinar will compare, contrast, and provide the scientific evidence for each of the three FDA-approved medications for OUD. Additionally, the session will focus on the importance of communication and collaboration between the healthcare and judicial systems to build individualized plans for clients.

In addition to the impact of opioid abuse on criminal courts, the nation’s family and juvenile courts are also being deeply impacted by the opioid crisis. This series of five 60-minute webinars will educate judges on identification & early intervention strategies in cases that involve children of parents with opioid abuse disorder as well as identify techniques for judges presiding over such cases to combat secondary trauma, which can lead to implicit bias.

This webinar series is being presented through generous funding from the State Justice Institute (SJI) in conjunction with The National Judicial College (NJC).
