Nassau County Problem Solving Courts Enhancement Project - The New York State Unified Court System's Nassau County Problem Solving Courts aim to expand participation of adult misdemeanor and felony court participants with substance use disorders or co-occurring substance use and mental disorders in Nassau County, NY by 40 individuals annually, totaling 200 over five years. We seek to enhance the capacity of these courts to engage and retain participants by integrating substance abuse and/or co-occurring treatment with recovery support services. Utilizing the risk-needs-responsivity principles, our comprehensive services will include Treatment Alternatives for Safer Communities (TASC) Case Management, motivational interviewing, harm reduction strategies, peer support, referrals for infectious disease testing and treatment, smoking cessation, vocational services, peer mentoring and aftercare planning. Through these initiatives, we aim to address the complex needs of participants and promote sustained recovery.
