How to Best Treat and Manage Methamphetamine Use: New England Association of Recovery Court Professionals (NEARCP)

October 4, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

The New England ATTC in partnership with the New England Association of Recovery Court Professionals is providing a targeted technical assistance webinar titled, ” How to Best Treat and Manage Methamphetamine Use” on 10/4/23 from 12:00pm-1:30pm with Brian Meyer and Helen Harberts. Until now, methamphetamine use may not have been common in treatment courts, but it is becoming more prevalent, particularly since it is increasingly packaged with other street drugs without the user knowing it is there. However, its previous infrequency on the East Coast may have resulted in courts being unfamiliar with the differences in the presentation, management, and treatment of meth compared to other substances. This presentation will familiarize you with how to recognize signs of meth use, overdose, and withdrawal. It will provide your court with specific strategies for managing meth user’s behavior, the roles of different court team members, and the most effective treatments for meth addiction. Finally, it will help guide you and your court as meth use becomes more common among your treatment court participants.
