Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Description
This session introduces the Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) as a powerful framework for guiding community and system-level responses to justice-involved individuals with substance use disorders. Participants will explore how SIM identifies key points, or “intercepts”, where effective interventions can divert individuals from deeper system involvement and connect them to treatment and recovery support. Emphasis will be placed on the role of treatment courts as a critical intercept and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration across legal and clinical systems. Attendees will also learn how to enhance recovery outcomes by integrating peer support, family involvement, and community-based resources throughout the justice process.

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the Sequential Intercept Model and explain how it applies to justice-involved individuals with substance use disorders at various stages of the criminal justice system.
2. Identify the role of treatment courts within the SIM framework and discuss how collaborative, recovery-oriented approaches support diversion and rehabilitation.
3. Apply strategies to build interdisciplinary partnerships and incorporate recovery support services to enhance long-term outcomes for individuals involved in both the treatment and legal systems.
