All 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.

The first session will be held on Tuesday, March 10 at 12:00 p.m. ET; don’t wait, register today!

Session 1: Gambling, Behavioral Addictions, and Hidden Risk in Justice Populations

Problem 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.

This 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.
