Abstract
Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) researchers developed a web-based continuum to share evidence-informed practices for addressing substance use disorders (SUDs) and substance misuse to guide local-level assessment, planning, and implementation efforts around SUD prevention and intervention. These practices range from early prevention to services to support successful reintegration back into the community following time spent in jail or prison. Communities are encouraged to use this continuum to examine the gaps and needs that exist in their areas and explore the options available to address those gaps. This webinar focuses on navigating the web-based continuum, as well as highlighting some key topic areas such as pharmacological methods of SUD treatment, importance of clinical assessment and the continuity of care, as well as things to consider when implementing or sustaining these types of programs.
