Presentation Information
The National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) will host RISE23, the world's largest conference on addiction, mental health, and justice reform, June 26-29, 2023 at the Houston Convention Center & Convention Center in Houston, Texas. RISE, drawing more than 7,500 attendees each year, brings together leaders from all models of treatment courts, the recovery community, law enforcement, veteran service organizations, legislators, and other key stakeholders to learn the latest evidence-based practices for serving individuals with substance use and mental health disorders in the justice system.
NADCP is seeking proposals for sessions/workshops that present best practices in service delivery, collaboration, and justice programming that enhance outcomes in treatment courts, including adult, juvenile, family, and reentry drug treatment courts, DWI courts, tribal healing to wellness courts, and veterans treatment courts. NADCP strongly encourages proposals for sessions that present research findings and their impact on practice, feature data analysis, and highlight evidence-based practice implementation. While NADCP will accept and schedule sessions that cover a wide range of topics, we are especially interested in justice reform research-based programming, the unique needs of justice-involved veterans, family-centered practices, law enforcement personnel, pretrial services, equity and inclusion, effective addiction and mental health treatment, long-term recovery management, and community supervision.
