Historically, the state of New York has not had community supervision as a part of the treatment court team. However, probation has reached out and is seeking to become an active part of treatment courts. Probation is now participating on a local level in over 20 treatment courts within the state and is looking to expand into more treatment courts.

The January meeting brought together subject matter experts, coaches, and stakeholders to discuss strategies for implementing effective programs addressing substance use disorder in jails. Participants explored best practices, common barriers, and solutions, with insights from law enforcement and healthcare professionals. The meeting also introduced team assessments to guide data-driven decision-making and foster collaboration.

The Building Bridges Virtual Orientation introduced key stakeholders, outlined the initiative’s goals and expectations, and provided insight into treating substance use disorder in jails. Subject matter experts and coaches shared their expertise, followed by a discussion with Building Bridges alumni to offer real-world perspectives. The meeting will conclude with a Q&A session and a review of next steps.

The Building Bridges initiative helps jails expand access to opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment both during incarceration and upon reentry into the community. Selected sites receive intensive training and technical assistance to support the implementation of medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Each team or individual is assigned a site liaison for monthly check-ins, resource sharing, support, and next-step planning.
