PADCP 18TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE PLENARY & BREAKOUT …



******************************************WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 11, 2017*****************************************2:00PM-3:15PM BREAKOUT SESSIONS*Coffee break sponsored by Clearbrook*W1-1hr CJE Substantive Credit Room 206 Pennsylvania Accountability and Recovery for Impaired Drivers (PARID) Project, Honorable Michael Barrasse, President Judge, Lackawanna County; DWI Court Judge, Gary Tennis, Esquire There is an emerging consensus among criminal justice and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment providers that individuals who engage in impaired driving need to be held accountable but also need to actively engage in recovery-oriented treatment. Criminal justice providers are tasked with balancing the sometimes-competing goals of cost, public safety and improving psychosocial functioning. Treatment providers are challenged to develop treatment plans for individuals who may not recognize a need to change behavior and be resistive to treatment. The shared consensus is that criminal justice and treatment plans must be collaborative, individualized, clinically driven, participant-directed and outcome-informed. The National Association of Drug Court Professionals, together with the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) of the Executive Office of the President have developed a program that identifies and applies evidence-based risk-need-responsivity (RNR) assessments of offenders at various stages in the criminal justice process. The project is the Annals of Research and Knowledge (ARKTM) on Successful Offender Management. The PARID Project will work with NADCP and ONDCP and other state agencies to sponsor a statewide study to identify and promote evidence-based and promising criminal justice and treatment programs that address RNR issues at the different stages of the criminal justice system. Addressing the growing problems of drug-impaired and repeat offenders will be a focus of the project.

Frequently, students with a history of substance abuse or dependency have obtained drugs or alcohol at their previous schools and used them with their peers. A recovery school gives students a chance to remove themselves from the strong influences of the “people, places and things” of their pre-treatment lives. A recent study shows that students who were enrolled in an ARS recovery school for at least 3 months sustained longer periods of abstinence, and reported decreased negative feelings and a decline in the urge to use.

Since then, the problem-solving court movement in the Commonwealth has expanded to include driving under the influence (DUI) courts, mental health courts, juvenile drug courts and veterans' courts.? Today there are over 100 problem solving courts in operation.? ? A volume of national studies and local program statistics show, unequivocally, that problem solving courts?improve the quality of life factors for participants in areas such as sobriety, employment, and lower rates of recidivism.? However, precise measurement of these significant statewide impacts in Pennsylvania has not been possible due to a lack of consistent and uniform data among problem solving courts.? ?The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts has several initiatives aimed at improving the availability and accuracy of statewide data.? Among them, a first set of statewide statistics has been developed using select extractions from both PAJCIS and the Common Pleas Criminal Case Management System (CPCMS) for the calendar year 2016.? This session will present the first statewide Problem Solving Court dataset and introduce the reports, summaries and interactive dashboard products available to problem solving court data users.? Plans for ongoing expansion of the data reporting system and its objectives will be described, and session participants will be welcomed to provide feedback and suggestions for future directions of the statewide data program.??
