Recovery Capital: The application of a recovery capital strategy is critical with justice-involved individuals and in treatment courts. By taking a comprehensive view of a person’s internal and external resources, courts and individuals can account for the barriers and roadblocks that may trap people in the justice system. This session will define recovery capital a conceptual framework for assessment, measurement, and change. It will provide guidance for applying a recovery capital assessment in the judicial process. And it will highlight some emerging research identifying predictive indicators of re-offence.

 

Breaking Free:

At the height of the pandemic, amidst frequent lockdowns within Ohio prisons, researchers Sarah-Elison Davies and Glyn Davies conducted research to learn the benefits and drawbacks of digital treatment methods for methamphetamine-dependent inmates, in the absence of in-person treatment. This session will present the findings of the study conducted with prison residents across Ohio who engaged with Breaking Free from Substance Abuse, a digital cognitive behavioural therapy program. This study reports data from 2187 Ohio prison residents who engaged with this digital CBT program to address their methamphetamine use and examines how baseline psychosocial risk factors and program engagement were associated with the encouraging outcomes obtained, including significant reductions in the severity of substance dependence and mental health difficulties.

This represents the first time this digital CBT intervention has been made widely available to incarcerated people residing in prisons or jails in the United State.

Innovative Practices Panel

This session will present information on the New South Wales Australia Drug Treatment Court and the New Rochelle, New York Opportunity Youth Part. The New Rochelle Opportunity Youth Part (OYP), serves young people 16-24 who are not in school, are unemployed or under-employed, and are typically disconnected from positive services within their communities. OYP’s community-centric approach links eligible young adults facing misdemeanor or felony charges to direct service providers who offer mental health and substance use treatment, job training and placement, academic assistance, and mentoring services. The New South Wales Drug Treatment Court (NSW DCT) provides treatment for recidivists and follows a drug treatment court operational philosophy in selection criteria, judicial supervised intensive treatment, smart sanctions and rewards and program stages. The NSW DCT is an example of a State’s duty to safeguard health by promoting treatment but not forcibly compelling treatment.

Different Approaches to treatment

Elaborating on their Keynote presentation from Day 1, this panel aims to further dialogue with Matt & Sam on their vision for unique approaches to addiction treatment and recovery models.

We will explore the offerings of Gwekwaadziwin Miikan, an Indigenous land-based mental health and addictions program, located on Mnidoo Mnising, within the Robinson-Huron treaty area.

The interplay of community wilderness; in-patient curriculum on campus; and after-care transitions will showcase a unique approach to client-centered plans of care.

 

Presenters will describe how immersive land-based initiatives can provide direct observation and foster growth and recovery. The benefits of in-the-field curriculum content will be highlighted, introducing their “Four Directions” and “Seven Grandfathers”, for teens and adults, respectively.

 

Matt & Sam will lead us to a better understanding of how “the connection to one’s land, the cultural identity, and community can be critical to one’s recovery”.

The Panelists may be asked to draw on their experiences with shared teachings, foraging and food to illuminate the backdrop for inspiring client-centered growth.
