BackgroundOverdose deaths in the United States (U.S.) surpassed 100,000 in 2021. Problem-solving courts (PSCs), which originally began as drug courts, divert people with nonviolent felonies and underlying social issues (e.g. opioid use disorders (OUDs)) from the carceral system to a community-based treatment court program. PSCs are operated by a collaborative court staff team including a judge that supervises PSC clients, local court coordinators that manage PSC operations, among other staff. Based on staff recommendations, medications for opioid use disorders (MOUDs) can be integrated into court clients’ treatment plans. MOUDs are an evidence-based treatment option. However, MOUDs remain widely underutilized within criminal justice settings partially due to negative perceptions of MOUDs held by staff.ObjectivePSCs are an understudied justice setting where MOUD usage would be beneficial. This study sought to understand how court coordinators’ perceptions and attitudes about MOUDs influenced their uptake and utilization in PSCs.MethodsA nationally representative survey of 849 local and 42 state PSC coordinators in the U.S. was conducted to understand how coordinators’ perceptions influenced MOUD utilization.ResultsGenerally, court coordinators hold positive views of MOUDs, especially naltrexone. While state and local coordinators’ views do not differ greatly, their stronger attitudes align with different aspects of and issues in PSCs such as medication diversion (i.e. misuse).ConclusionsThis study has implications for PSCs and their staff, treatment providers, and other community supervision staff (e.g. probation/parole officers, court staff) who can promote and encourage the use of MOUDs by clients.
