Despite the documented efficacy of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and its designation as the “gold-standard” in the treatment of opioid use disorders, resistance among court officials and treatment providers has resulted in underutilization of this treatment option in some jurisdictions. This webinar will identify barriers to MAT acceptance by prosecution, defense, judges, case managers, treatment providers, and other members of the treatment court team and will outline several approaches for addressing these common concerns about MAT. A site-specific strategy for providing training to drug court staff will be discussed.
