Objective 6: Identify key drug court strategies for responding to the national opioid crisis

The Center will continue to work with states to identify promising and evidence-based strategies for responding to the opioid epidemic, including specialized screening and assessment practices, methods for reducing the time between entering a drug court and beginning treatment, enhanced supervision strategies, and specialized opiate use disorder dockets. Promising and evidence-based strategies will be disseminated to the field through quarterly meetings, webinars, and/or publications.

Engage SRCs to identify reentry resource gaps and implementation challenges

Working from the comprehensive database the NRRC is currently developing, the NRRC will elicit information regularly from the SRCs to help the center, BJA, and OJJDP identify resource gaps and implementation challenges with the reentry field. Methods to elicit this information could include semiannual surveys to gain broad knowledge of gaps and challenges coupled with follow-up interviews or focus groups to dive deeper into survey results.

Coordinate with SRCs to disseminate reentry information and resources

To ensure that the NRRC website and clearinghouses provide the most up-to-date research and practice-based evidence and resources, the NRRC is in the process of assembling a network of SRCs (Year 2 activity). The NRRC will build this network upon a comprehensive database of SRCs that will include their state, regional, or local affiliation; the organizational structure within which they work (e.g., department of corrections, state/county council); and their complete contact information.
