Treatment courts in rural jurisdictions face unique challenges. NDCRC’s
Rural Drug Treatment Courts Listserv
is an online community designed to facilitate knowledge sharing and problem-solving between treatment court professionals to answer these challenges. Currently, listserv members are participating giving feedback about the creative strategies they employ in the delivery of treatment, transportation, and staffing, among other things. The discussion is being conducted by the listserv’s moderator, Jeffrey Kushner, with the Justice Programs Office, NPC Research and the National Association of Drug Court Professionals. To participate in the discussion and add your perspective, join the Rural Drug Treatment Court
listserv
