SUMMARY:Advancing Treatment Provider Training
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by All Rise: \nFirst session: Tuesday\, March 10\nAll Rise’s Treatment Court Institute will again host its popular virtual training series: advanced adult treatment provider training. This series is designed for treatment professionals working with justice-involved individuals impacted by substance use and co-occurring disorders who are ready to take their knowledge and skills to the next level. \nThe first session will be held on Tuesday\, March 10 at 12:00 p.m. ET; don’t wait\, register today! \nSession 1: Gambling\, Behavioral Addictions\, and Hidden Risk in Justice Populations\nProblem gambling and other behavioral addictions are significantly overrepresented among justice-involved populations\, yet they remain largely unrecognized in most treatment court and supervision settings. When left unidentified\, gambling disorder can quietly undermine treatment engagement\, destabilize recovery\, fuel criminal behavior\, and be misinterpreted by courts as irresponsibility or defiance rather than a treatable condition. \nThis session brings clinical clarity to a frequently overlooked issue. Participants will explore gambling disorder as a diagnosable behavioral addiction\, examine the complex intersections between gambling\, other mental health disorders\, substance use\, impulsivity\, and criminal justice involvement\, and identify why traditional substance use disorder treatment models often fail to detect or address gambling problems. \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE + REGISTER\n\n\n\nAbout the Series\nThis in-depth training series builds advanced skills in treatment planning\, courtroom collaboration\, ethical decision making\, and evidence-based care delivery. There are six virtual training sessions in the series planned for 2026\, each of which will be led by All Rise staff or faculty experts and will offer actionable insights for immediate use in the field. All sessions will be held from 12:00 to 1:15 p.m. ET. \nPresenters:\nSarah Nelson\, Ph.D.\nSarah Nelson is the director of research at the Division on Addiction\, Cambridge Health Alliance\, and an associate professor in the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Nelson’s work covers many facets of addiction\, including the relationship between psychiatric comorbidity and impaired driving\, how best to develop community recovery environments for youth with substance use problems\, and the distribution and determinants of gambling problems. She has led the development\, implementation\, and evaluation of the Computerized Assessment and Referral System (CARS) at impaired driving programs and courts across the country. Dr. Nelson’s gambling work has focused on predicting the development of gambling problems\, improving screening and assessment of gambling problems\, and evaluating gambling interventions such as voluntary self exclusion. \nJulie Seitz\, L.A.D.C.\, L.G.S.W.\, M.S.W.\nJulie Seitz is a project director with Impaired Driving Solutions\, a division of All Rise\, providing national training and technical assistance to treatment courts and justice-system partners. With more than 25 years of experience\, her work spans clinical practice\, community-based program development\, and systems transformation. Ms. Seitz is an adjunct social work faculty member at The College of St. Scholastica and an editor and contributor with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)\, supporting national guidance related to the ASAM Criteria and evidence-based clinical standards. She is a frequent national and international presenter and is known for helping systems move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches toward individualized\, measurable\, and effective practice. \n  \nUpcoming Sessions: \n\n\n\nSession 2: Contingency Management and Behavioral Reinforcement in Justice Settings\nSession 3: Clinical vs. Forensic Drug Testing\nSession 4: Mental Health\, Trauma\, and Justice Involvement\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 5: The Sequential Intercept Model and Justice-Involved Individuals: Advancing Recovery-Oriented Responses Across the Criminal Justice Continuum\nSession 6: Ethics and Confidentiality in Treatment Courts: Navigating Complexities in Clinical and Legal Practice
