Judiciary Training on Substance Use

Overview

All Rise’s Center for Advancing Justice, in collaboration with the National Judicial College, offers no-cost training opportunities on substance use tailored specifically for non-treatment court judges. These training courses focus on the impact of substance use disorders and evidence-based responses proven to work with individuals involved in the justice system.

This curriculum translates best practices into practical strategies for judges who may encounter individuals with substance use disorders in judicial settings other than treatment courts. Our expert faculty and judicial trainers ensure that the content is engaging, relevant, and easy to apply in real-world settings.
