BackgroundProgram History
  • NC Drug Treatment Court Act enacted in 1995
  • One of five original pilot courts
  • Original grant application submitted by Carolina
    Correctional Services
  • Began operation in 1996
  • Originally operated in two courts (Superior and
    District)
  • Consolidated into District Court in 2001
  • AOC assumes administration of WCADTC on July 1,
    2005

4
BackgroundTransition of Court Management
  • Reasons Provided for Transition
  • High operating costs due to administrative
    overhead
  • Lack of community networking and partnership
    with local organizations such as Treatment
    Alternatives for Safer Communities (TASC) and
    other relevant community agencies
  • Goals of Transition
  • Seamless and no harm provision of treatment
    services
  • Increase number of community partnerships
  • Recommendations Regarding Transition
  • Conduct analyses of cost savings with transition
    to AOC court administration
  • Formal training and orientation process for new
    team members
  • Consider the potential role of TASC in
    performing case management services or serving
    as a member of the core court team
  • Involve Local Management Committee in the
    planning process

5
Team MembersBackground and Training
  • Strengths
  • Most team members have attended State and
    National DTC trainings
  • Team members have had prior relevant educational
    and professional training in preparation for
    their current roles
  • Barriers
  • Team members reported greater need for
    cross-training of team members
  • Treatment Providers are not yet Certified
    Substance Abuse Counselors, although both are
    currently working towards this goal

6
Team Members Background and Training
Recommendations
  • Conduct a needs assessment to determine team
    members specific needs for cross-training, and,
    if necessary, develop team-based cross-training
    sessions to meet these needs.
  • Continue to provide support and structure (e.g.,
    set timelines and expectations) regarding
    Treatment Providers efforts to obtain
    certification in order for the program to be in
    compliance with 2005 Guidelines for NC Drug
    Treatment Courts.

7
Team MembersComposition and Roles
  • Strengths
  • Team composition and roles adhere to Best
    Practices Guidelines
  • Clearly defined roles and responsibilities, in
    general
  • Low turnover in Judge, Defense Attorney, and
    Probation Positions
  • Barriers
  • Rotating schedule for the ADA position, as
    opposed to one dedicated ADA
  • Previously high turnover among treatment agencies
  • Lack of male treatment providers
  • Lack of understanding (among participants) of the
    role of the Defense Attorney
  • Although in general, roles and responsibilities
    are clearly defined, occasionally, some team
    members perform functions outside out the scope
    of their prescribed role

8
Team Composition and Roles Recommendations
  • Request dedicated ADA as team member.
  • Recruit male treatment staff.
  • Explain the role of the Defense Attorney to the
    participants during the admission and orientation
    process for new participants.
  • Clarify policies and procedures regarding the
    criteria and process for excusing participants
    from court and treatment sessions, and document
    instances in which these standards are not met.

9
Team MembersDecision-Making Processes
  • Strengths
  • Orderly and comprehensive processing of
    individual cases during team meetings
  • Two pre-court staffing meetings provide
    opportunities for revisiting and resolving cases
  • Consensus-based decision-making about participant
    cases, in general
  • Barriers
  • Team members hold varying views about Judges
    role as final arbiter
  • Treatment providers could take on more of a
    leadership role in team meetings
  • Relatively small amount of time spent processing
    what works in team meetings
  • Lack of available time to address broader court
    issues that arise during pre-court team meetings

10
Team Decision-Making ProcessesRecommendations
  • Discuss and decide on Judges role as final
    arbiter of case decisions in which the team
    cannot reach a consensus.
  • Consider a more active role for Treatment
    Providers in helping the team to integrate
    research on substance abuse into decision-making
    about participant cases.
  • Document unresolved, broader court issues and
    table them for discussion during Local Management
    Committee meetings and/or staff retreats.
  • Set aside time, either in team meetings or in a
    retreat, to process the factors associated with
    successful program compliance, progress, and
    completion.

11
Team MembersInteractions with and about
Participants
  • Strengths
  • Team members and participants reported that team
    members maintain professional boundaries
  • Participants reported overall respect for and
    from the team members and perceive the team as
    committed, compassionate, and sincere
  • Participants reported especially positive regard
    for Judge, Treatment Providers, Probation
    Officer, and Assistant Director of Programs
  • Team members expressed genuine desire for the
    participants to succeed
  • Barriers
  • Less positive regard was expressed by
    participants for the Defense Attorney due to
    feelings of betrayal
  • Some participants expressed negative opinions
    about team members playing favorites
  • Some team members reported that participants know
    which team members can be manipulated into
    excusing them from meetings and/or court sessions
  • Occasional lapses in professionalism when
    discussing challenging participant cases in pre
    court staffing meetings were observed

12
Team Member Interactions Recommendations
  • Clarify and clearly communicate to participants
    the rationale of the non-adversarial approach,
    and its implications for the role and functions
    of the Defense Attorney.
  • Use clear language in describing team approaches
    to differential treatment of participants, and
    consider how participants may interpret such
    language.
  • Adopt and enforce uniform standards and policies
    for excusing participants from required meetings
    and sessions.
  • Maintain professionalism when discussing
    participants, and agree on appropriate standards
    for using humor to diffuse difficult or
    challenging situations.

13
Eligibility, Referral, and Admission Procedures
  • Barriers
  • Basis for deviating from stated eligibility
    criteria are not clearly defined
  • Length of time between probation violation or
    arrest and eligibility screening is longer than
    it should be
  • In general, the program is a hard sell to many
    offenders and defense attorneys due to length of
    program and because it is not a deferral program
  • Disagreement among team members regarding who
    should administer the SASSI (Case Manager or
    Treatment Provider?)
  • Strengths
  • Eligibility criteria clearly define the target
    population for the program
  • Team provides multiple opportunities to assure
    that participants are educated about program
    requirements
  • Participants begin treatment immediately upon
    admission

14
Program Eligibility, Referral, and
AdmissionRecommendations
  • Formalize and document procedures for deciding
    when to make exceptions to the eligibility
    criteria.
  • Document and review the characteristics of cases
    that take an especially long time to complete the
    eligibility screening process after the initial
    probation violation or arrest in order to
    determine methods for accelerating the admissions
    process.
  • Enhance community awareness and education about
    the purpose and aims of the drug treatment court
    model.
  • Adopt SAMHSAs standards regarding administration
    of the SASSI and other screening tools Assure
    that personnel administering screening tools are
    adequately trained to properly administer, score,
    and interpret screening tools.

15
Treatment Services
  • Strengths
  • Team members and participants identify treatment
    as an essential program component.
  • A wide variety of treatment services are
    available to participants, including group
    therapy, individual counseling, and
    community-based 12-step recovery groups.
  • Participants can be referred to additional
    treatment services, such as residential treatment
    and detoxification, and for ancillary services,
    such as housing, vocational rehabilitation, and
    transportation.
  • Participants reported that Treatment Providers
    are helpful and easy to talk to.

16
Treatment Services, Cont.
  • Strengths
  • Treatment Services are delivered in accordance
    with a structured phase system, and Phase II
    participants receive both group and individual
    counseling.
  • Treatment providers use evidence-based
    cognitive-behavioral treatment programs for group
    therapy.
  • Participants find group therapy sessions
    particularly helpful, and identify peer support
    as a key component of group therapy.
  • Team members reported that treatment services are
    applicable for all cultural groups and for both
    genders.
  • The team has begun to establish more community
    connections to meet participants treatment
    needs, as evidenced by increasing numbers of
    referrals from the team to community mental
    health and substance abuse treatment services.

17
Treatment Services
  • Barriers
  • Difficulty securing treatment services for dually
    diagnosed participants
  • Lack of male treatment providers may be a barrier
    for some participants
  • Participants did not articulate specific aspects
    of treatment that were helpful outside of peer
    support
  • Some participants attributed their recovery to
    12-step meetings rather than to court treatment
    services
  • Treatment providers reported that they do not
    always adhere to the treatment program guidelines
    for group therapy sessions due to the need to
    address pertinent recovery needs of the moment

18
Treatment Services, Cont.
  • Barriers
  • Team members suspect the treatment court may not
    be equally as effective across age.
  • One team member felt the lack of male treatment
    providers may make the treatment services less
    effective for male participants.
  • Team members believe families should be involved
    in treatment there is currently no family
    component in place.
  • Team members reported that participants often
    arrive late and depart early from treatment
    sessions.

19
Treatment ServicesRecommendations
  • Develop strategies to recruit more male treatment
    staff.
  • Work with Division of Mental Health and other
    community partners to identify treatment services
    for dually diagnosed participants.
  • Consider the possibility of inviting a member of
    Wake County Mental Health Services to serve on
    the Local Management Committee or as a core team
    member.
  • Explore the possibility of documenting levels of
    adherence to treatment manuals, as well as the
    circumstances (e.g., recovery needs or crises)
    that necessitate departures from the treatment
    plan.
  • Assess the specific skills that participants are
    acquiring in group therapy sessions. One
    possibility is to incorporate an assessment of
    these skills in the exit interview.

20
Treatment ServicesRecommendations
  • Stricter enforcement of late arrival and early
    departure policies will maximize the benefit of
    treatment services.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the court for older
    participants as compared to younger participants,
    and for males as compared to females.
  • Consider the possibility of reviving the family
    component that was functional in prior years.
    Conducting a needs assessment to determine
    participants and family members need and desire
    for the program, willingness to participate, and
    time availability might help to assure better
    involvement on the part of families.
  • Continue to identify and forge connections with
    community partners to enhance community awareness
    and support for the program, and to increase the
    diversity of treatment services available for
    participants.

21
Sanctions
  • Strengths
  • Comprehensive list of sanctions is made available
    to participants upon admission to program
  • Participants find threat of jail to be a useful
    deterrent
  • Individualized approach to imposing sanctions is
    used to meet participants recovery needs
  • Consensus-based development of sanctions
  • Team members consider participants history of
    sanctions
  • In general, participants perceive the sanctions
    used by the court as fair and useful
  • Barriers
  • Some participants perceive inconsistent
    application of sanctions
  • In retrospect, some former participants reported
    that team members were too lenient in their use
    of sanctions (I needed a sanction.)
  • Team does not enforce threatened sanctions
    consistently


22
Sanctions Recommendations
  • Proactively communicate the theory and rationale
    behind the use of sanctions.
  • Monitor and evaluate the current level of
    sanction enforcement.
  • Explore the adoption of individualized behavior
    contracts to complement the current contract.
  • Employ a specific psychological framework or
    approach (e.g., behavior modification) to develop
    sanctions that address recovery needs, and
    evaluate the extent to which sanctions are
    currently imposed according to the selected
    framework.

23
Incentives
  • Barriers
  • Variability in standards of progress that merit
    rewards (i.e., baby steps vs. giant leaps) causes
    participants to perceive inconsistent application
  • Team members reported that rewards provide
    instant gratification, but result in minimal
    lasting impact
  • Lack of sufficient number of tangible incentives
  • Early release is a mixed blessing for some due
    to transportation barriers and conflicts
  • Strengths
  • Participants reported that graduation is the
    greatest reward because it signifies having
    achieved a new lifestyle (clean and sober)
  • Participants appreciate early release from court
    and verbal praise from the Judge
  • Participants are generally satisfied with the
    courts use of incentives
  • Team members prefer positive reinforcement over
    punitive methods of trying to bring about
    behavior change

24
Incentives Recommendations
  • Proactively communicate the theory and rationale
    behind the use of incentives.
  • Utilize successful program alumni and friends of
    the program to solicit donations from community
    businesses. This would also help increase
    visibility of the program.
  • Obtain specialized training or network with other
    drug treatment courts to identify a wider variety
    of incentives and incentive strategies.
  • Discuss possibilities for addressing
    participants complaints regarding lengthy travel
    times only to be dismissed from court early.
  • Continue to recognize the value of verbal praise
    and continue to use it frequently.

25
Case Management Judicial Supervision
  • Strengths
  • Participants reported that drug screening is a
    useful deterrent to drug use
  • Instant drug screens return results quickly
  • Participants find status hearings to be an
    effective deterrent
  • If I didnt have court to go to, I wouldnt be
    afraid of anything. I could relapse several
    times.
  • Team members reported that the non-adversarial
    relationship participants form with the Judge is
    especially helpful
  • Barriers
  • Participants report that in the past, lack of
    male staff to supervise drug testing has
    contributed to manipulation of drug screens
  • Some team members and participants reported
    instant tests are not always accurate
  • Noise levels in the rear of the courtroom may
    prevent some participants from focusing on court
    proceedings
  • Phase system does not document or reflect
    systematic decrease in number of supervision
    contacts required (Case Management and Probation)

26
Case Management Judicial SupervisionRecommendat
ions
  • Male surveillance officer currently administers
    drug screens at treatment groups and court
    sessions. The team should evaluate whether this
    is an appropriate long-term solution.
  • Document and evaluate instances of inaccurate
    instant screens to determine whether these
    instances can be attributed to a particular drug
    or drugs.
  • Require participants to sit in the front of the
    courtroom, and have security personnel circulate
    to maintain appropriate atmosphere.
  • Review Phase System, as written, and determine
    whether more specific requirements regarding the
    number of Case Management and Probation contacts
    are necessary.

27
Termination
  • Strengths
  • Consensus-based termination decisions
  • Termination is considered a last resort due to
    team members desire to keep participants in
    treatment
  • Team members all agree the policy is fair
  • Zero-tolerance termination policy for violence
  • Barriers
  • Policy relies heavily on subjective judgments.
  • Good cause
  • Level of participation
  • Conduct that is detrimental to the program
  • Program graduates advocate stricter policies and
    enforcement as a means of removing participants
    who reduce morale and make group sessions
    difficult
  • Participants reported they are unsure about what
    actions result in termination
  • Lack of consensus regarding the appropriateness
    of the program for repeat participants
  • Lack of formalized follow-up procedures results
    in difficulty contacting former participants for
    evaluation purposes

28
Termination Recommendations
  • Review the termination policy and decide on more
    specific language and objective criteria to
    clarify the grey areas.
  • Consider and discuss the effects that maintaining
    difficult participants may have on other
    participants.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the program for
    one-time participants as compared to repeat
    participants (graduates and terminated).
  • Consider developing follow-up procedures to
    monitor outcomes for terminated participants.

29
Graduation
  • Strengths
  • Clearly stated and objective criteria for
    successful program completion
  • Graduation ceremony to publicly honor graduates
  • Successful program graduates are encouraged to
    maintain contact with program
  • Barriers
  • No formal program in place to retain alumni
  • Some participants are disgruntled about
    undeserving graduates who manage to complete
    the program simply by avoiding jail

30
GraduationRecommendations
  • Investigate and monitor the reported problem of
    undeserving graduates.
  • Develop a program to retain alumni as treatment
    and recovery resources and role models.

    program

44
Overall Barriers
  • Lack of consensus among team members regarding
    Judges role as final arbiter.
  • Lack of time spent processing what works.
  • Justice system team members do not have as much
    time as they would like to devote to the program
    due to other caseloads and responsibilities.
  • Participants are unclear about the role of the
    Defense Attorney.
  • Reasons for making exceptions to the stated

    and defense attorneys
  • Lack of treatment services for dually diagnosed
    participants
  • Some participants perceive inconsistent use of
    sanctions and rewards

    participants.
  • Discuss and gain consensus regarding Judges role
    as final arbiter.
  • Plan for opportunities to discuss broader court
    issues.
  • Identify the factors that contribute to longer
    processing time (eligibility screening) for some
    referred cases.

47
Overall Recommendations
  • Explore the possibility of implementing
    individualized behavior contracts.
  • Monitor possible instances of inaccurate drug
