Juvenile Treatment Provider Training
More FY23 juvenile treatment provider training sessions coming soon!
Overview
NDCI, in partnership with the American Society of Addiction Medicine and with support from the Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention, U.S. Department of Justice, is bringing world-class training to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment professionals working with adolescent clients involved in the juvenile justice system. NDCI is offering a combination on-demand with a live, virtual, one-day training event. All training events are free to participants and will be conducted virtually in 2023.
This training has two components:
1) On-demand training prerequisite (4.5 hours): This training has been developed with the busy practitioner in mind. Once you register, you will receive a link to the NADCP E-Learning Center, where you will complete 4.5 hours of on-demand, interactive sessions on your own time. These on-demand modules must be completed before you attend the live, virtual training (see available dates below).
2) Live, virtual training (3.5 hours): This session will cover juvenile drug treatment courts (JDTCs) as a model that balances treatment, accountability, and community-based support. Participants will explore historical and current drug trends, develop an understanding of clinical adolescent behaviors, and learn concrete skills to improve outcomes for youth and families.
To get started, please register for one of the live, virtual training opportunities below. You will then receive a link to complete the on-demand prerequisite:

Treatment provider training is for anyone currently delivering or supervising the delivery of adolescent SUD treatment, co-occurring disorder services, or clinical case management to participants in JDTCs, on community supervision, or otherwise involved in the justice system. Professionals who practice in communities where JDTCs exist are encouraged to attend, even if not currently seeing treatment court participants.
