This course is offered through the North Carolina Judicial College. This is a basic introduction to substance use for district court judges who preside over juvenile and child custody proceedings. The course covers why judges need to know about substance use, the nature of substance use and the science behind it, drug testing, treatment and services, and confidentiality laws. There is a focus on substance use and how it comes up in delinquency; abuse, neglect, dependency; and custody cases. Instructors will assume that course participants have little or no expertise in the areas of alcohol or drug use related illnesses and treatment practices.
